[vintage-and-warbirds] The Dornier Do 17 One Year Later

Forwarded message -  From: Steve Link steven_link@

WarbirdsNews — June 9, 2014

PRESS RELEASE- Tuesday 10th June 2014 will mark the first anniversary of the moment the world's last surviving Dornier Do 17 was successfully lifted from the bottom of the Dover Straits.   The breath taking moment the aircraft surfaced from the water was captured live on TV and sparked interest from around the globe.Just five days later on the 15th June, the Dornier was transported from Ramsgate, Kent, to the Royal Air Force Museum Cosford, Shropshire and placed inside purpose built hydration tunnels. Here, the Dornier has been systematically sprayed with a low concentration citric acid based solution to arrest the damaging effects of nearly seventy years on the seabed. This process has helped to soften up and remove marine accretions, allowing direct access to the airframe structure and the subsequent neutralisation of corrosion impurities.

 

Sure hope this old gal gets the attention she deserves….

After nearly five years of war, this was it. The fight for the free world. The Allies flew thousands upon thousands of sorties on D-Day; heavy and medium bombers pummelled coastal defences, fighter-bombers kept the roads and railways clear of traffic and a terrific umbrella of fighter cover swept the skies free of Luftwaffe fighters. Elliott Marsh looks at the vital role played by the British and American air forces during the opening salvo of Operation OVERLORD, and the effect that this 'day of days' had on the men tasked with supporting the greatest invasion the world had ever seen.
