One new WW2 aircraft found today by two divers Pascale Roibu and Iulian Rusu alias Club Marine Explorer. The aircraft was found in Tasaul Lake, near Constanta, Romania. The same divers found last year two seaplanes in Siutghiol Lake (BV 138 and Heinkel 114).

Cool.

Good news!

Have they identified the aircraft type yet?

 

[s1chris]

Great news. Is it too early to talk about recovery? Even not knowing what it is yet?

 

[Wurger]

Sounds interesting.

 

[Wildcat]

Cool. Looking forward to hearing what aircraft it is.

 

[blackseahorse]

Thank you! Is deeply buried in the mud but seems to be Junkers after particularities.

That's exciting!

Junkers...any better idea, like a Ju52 or a Stuka?

 

[Njaco]

Very cool! Like it to be a Ju 87.

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Very cool. Any links with possible pictures?

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Nice to hear and it would be good if it was a Stuka and able to raise it.

Thanks for posting! Interested to see what this is - The Ju 52, 87 and 88 all saw service in the area.

The Romanian Airforce had some Ju86 aircraft as well...

Wouldn't that be awesome to see another (only one in the world at the moment) discovered!

 

[vikingBerserker]

I cannot find anything about it.

"The Romanian Airforce had some Ju86 aircraft as well..."

Good point Dave, Hungary used them too...

 

[GrauGeist]

Right, Hungary and Romania were the only Eastern European countries to operate them...the sole surviving example is in Sweden, if I remember right.

On a side note, I'm still disappointed that they haven't recovered the Me323 that was found a while back in the Med...rare aircraft should have a chance at being recovered/preserved.

Anyway, looking forward to the results of this Black Sea discovery.

Seem to be an seaplane Junkers W34!

Seem to be an seaplane Junkers W34!

wow!! If that's the case, you have a very rare pre-war type!

I certainly hope it can be recovered and that it's fairly complete and intact!
