Outside
the
city of Narvik, the remains of a German Dornier 26
Seeadler airplane rest in shallow waters. The airplane was
found in 1991 and it is believed that the plane was one of
two Dornier 26's that supplied the German forces in May
1940 under the battles of Narvik. Three British Hurricane
fighters from RAF squadron 46 spotted the enemy planes
28.May right after they had landed, and quickly sunk them
both in Sildvika. The other plane that was sunk, the
Seemöwe" was later raised. But the remains of the Seeadler
rest today in Rombaksbotn outside Narvik on a depth of
approx 15 to 25 meter.
