The aircraft has been at the bottom of the fjord since June 13, 1940, when Lt-Cdr John Casson, who was leading the doomed raid on the German battle cruiser Scharnhorst, ditched the damaged dive-bomber.

The only one in a museum is as a wreck in the FAA museum at Yeovilton. __________________ When you realise that the light at the end of the tunnel is actually an oncoming train, you know it's time to run for your life
