And we're Back!

Finally!! The project is rolling again, months after we started the summer vacation season. As the reader might or might not remember, our main task this May and June was salvaging a FW 190 A8 off the coast of Bergen. We now have identified the aircraft, and have also finished picking parts off the fuselage and engine for our Black 3. Spares from the wings next!

We have found, restored and installed the joystick - rudder pushrods in the cockpit, as you can see on the picture. (Click for larger version). These will probably not be operational until a later stage of the restoration, but they are visually important for the cockpit environment. We are happy this has been possible!

Back to the salvaged aircraft. It is FW 190 A8 Serial number 737435. It had an emergency landing south west of Herdla airfield, the 8th of March 1945. Pilot escaped without injury.  

Updates to the blog will commence at a weekly rate again, happy to be back!
