It's "home"...

At last the Blue X has arrived in Bodø. This mostly thanks to the guys at Bergen, and to FLO/Trans and Toten Transport. The weather was excellent, the logistics came together, and offloading took no more than a couple of hours.

The guys came along to watch and help, and this load was taken off and put in storage easily and without problems. Some parts are already in processing, and other parts will be taken care of shortly. A part that has not been shown before, is the propeller. It was not salvaged initially, but has been picked up from 110m/350ft of water at a later stage.

The tail section on the lawn outside our restoration facility. And in a few days, some guys will be raising a Messerschmitt 109 from the sea.... and taking the wreck to Bodø.  So in addition to the Ju 88, and the Black 3 FW190, we will also have the BlueX and a Me 109 on our premises. If you are interested in Luftwaffe history: the place to visit this summer is Norsk Luftfartsmuseum!
