    yeah, I had a nasty moment when I read the title... :eek:

    Still, good news - I really quite like the Blackburn Skua.

    The title did give me a moment's pause, but then I figured that it had to be a FAA plane. I mean, what on Earth would our Skua be doing in a fjord of all places?

    I'm wondering if there are any plans to raise the plane.

    I'm wondering if there are any plans to raise the plane. Seems a shame to just leave it to deteriorate at the bottom of the fjord.
