Photo Comment

This Messerschmitt 109 ditched after an engine fire North West of Egersund during a post maintenance test flight on 11 October 1943. After 45 years on the seabed, a large part of the airframe was brought ashore by the shrimp trawler Luma on the night of December 16, 1988. During the year 1989 a long restauration proces was started by the Norsk Fly Historisk Museum which was completed in 2020.
