Heinkel 115 to be rasied from watery grave in June.

[jshell]

An almost intact, super-rare Heinkel 115 sea-plane is to be raised from the waters near Stavanger Airport on June the 2nd. It's planned to keep it in a tank of fresh water for up to 2 years to allow the salts to flush out of the tiny gaps between platework and other components. Seemingly there isn't an example of this plane in any musem in the world, so should be quite interesting.

Link to newspaper report in Norwegian, but just drop the address into google translate for an idea of it. The word 'sun' in the translation is the name of the airport - 'Sola'.
