A Second World War Halifax bomber lost in a
raid to sink the Tirpitz has been found largely
intact at the bottom of a fjord near Trondheim
Six university students have used a mini
submarine to find the submerged wreck of a
British bomber lost on a raid to sink the German
battleship Tirpitz.
The Halifax heavy bomber was located, largely
intact, 600ft under water in a Norwegian fjord,
72 years after it crashed on the mission to
destroy one of Hitler’s most feared warships.
The aircraft was only found after a pipeline-
laying crew spotted a mystery object in the fjord
and the discovery was heard of by students at
the marine technology department of a local
university.
Six of the students used a remote-controlled sub
to find the plane. Although they were not able
to find the aircraft’s serial number, it is believed
to be Halifax W7656.
The aircraft was struck by heavy flak and made
a successful crash landing in the water during
the raid on April 28, 1942, to find and sink the
Tirpitz near Trondheim.
