<p>WkNr 2398.
During WW2 the water adjacent to what is now Sola airport was used as a seaplane base by the Luftwaffe and the hangar which now contains the museum was the main maintenance hangar. 
On 28th December 1942, a Heinkel He115 of KG906 Luftflotte 5 (c/n 2398, coded 8L+FH), crashed and sank while landing. In 2006 the intact remains of the aircraft were located and in June 2012 they were raised and recovered. Except for the floats and the starboard engine the aeroplane was complete and everything recovered was extremely well preserved. It is now under restoration by the Flyhistorisk Museum Sola with the cockpit and nose section being used as a mobile exhibit.
This is the unrestored rear fuselage and tail. It retains all of its original paint and markings and shows just how well preserved the airframe is.
On display at the Flyhistorisk Museum, Sola, Norway.
