This Skua was shot down by a Heinkel He-111 in 1940 and crashed on frozen Breidalsvatnet Lake in Norway. The crew survived and set it alight causing it to sink through the ice. It was recovered in 1974 and is now displayed in the FAA Museum in this diorama representing its resting place and even with model divers to show the recovery
