Countdown to raising the Dornier commences | Blog | RAF Museum
 
Very interesting I hope that there will be a tv programme of the resurrection of this aircraft thanks for the link
 
That is great news! Got to be in pretty bad shape though after 70 years under the sea? Still looks like a Dornier tho from the images.

Come on Revell you know you want to complete the trio of BoB bombers!

thanks for sharing Allyne
 
That's going to need a few tins of filler!

Saw this news this morning. Great stuff, it will be brilliant to have the Dornier next to the Hurricane wreck. All that wear and tear will buff right out, no problems.

Quick get Revell in to measure it so they can get a 1/32 Do17Z out to complete the BoB bomber collection :)

Yeah! If they're quick they should just about get it done in time for Paul (tr1ckey66) to add it to his BoB build! :lol

A real optomist Joe.

Pure pessimism.

OK chaps could we get this together seems we have a difference. Chalk & Cheese.

I think it will make an impression in the museum. Just the raising of this relic & the enthusiasm behind it is a great effort.

Pessimism ???? No ....... I'm not sure how much the final bill for the salvage and restoration will be........ But whatever it is it'll go over budget.

Would it not have been cheaper to build a replica ????

"I'll get my coat!!!"

Check out Flypast Magazine and see how what I would have considered total scrap, a few years later is in the air.

Many of the american fighters restored over there were brought up from the sea bed.

I realise that it would be virtually impossble to put this back in the air, however I would bet that it could be restored to static condition!

I will be interested in seeing it when it's finished, as it was 30 Dornier 217Es wot dropped 127 bombs on Aberdeen on Friday evening 21 April 1943, missing me by a couple of hundred yards. Still, I won't kick its tyres.
 
A mate of mine who has been involved in restoring a number of warbird aircraft reckons that all you need to 'rebuild' a wreck, is the manufacturer's data plate. Any original and usable parts or skins are a bonus; of course the inclusion of such parts adds to the value of the restored product.

Steve, sounds like you had a reasonably close thing there. Lots of laundry the next morning?
