We have during the time that has passed
since last status update of the homepage, got clogged the parts of
the end walls of Heinkel hall which is dressed with timber cladding
. The use of
dehumidifier inside the concrete hall has meant that this cladding has dried
out and opened to allow moisture to migrate through all the gaps which are encountered
in planking. The consequence of this has been that the weather conditions on the outside of
hall in a substantial influence to the humidity inside the hall. We can
Now measure that it is both a clearly more stable and significantly lower relative humidity
inside the warehouse.
It is now summer and vacation time and
this will affect the activity around the Heinkel He 115 project a while
forwards
.
It has also been worked on both
with the plane's instruments and to make copies of brackets and mounts for
rudder pedals
. These latter should be used as plugs in støypeformer.
The main priority for the Heinkel He 115
the project is to preserve the aircraft so intact and untouched as possible. Yet there is a
fact that the aircraft has remained at the bottom of a inlet in 70 year. Salt therefore
drawn between aircraft many joints
. Our challenge is therefore
still finding a method that best safeguards the desire to make small
engagement in the plane while ensuring that aircraft do not over time destroy. We
looking therefore still active over a wide registry to find this. In one
end of this registry finds a possibility of conducting a
electrochemical desalination, while at the other end finds a possibility of
completely or partially to dismantle the aircraft parts
. The aircraft's center section is a complex
construction with many very tight joint. It would therefore be difficult
to remove salt from these joints. As part of the studies
round choice of method we have recently spent some time on mapping
how the center section is actually built. This is to provide an overview of
how a whole or piecemeal removal thereof can
carried.
Efforts Heinkel He 115 project since January 2018 been hampered
of the Armed Forces Museum is in a process where they will consider future
ownership of equipment that is lent on landfill agreements. It now appears that this
process has come so far that they imposed restrictions on work on aircraft soon
can be raised.
