Yes, all in all a nice bit of work. I'd rather have it on shore with a broken tail than underwater and intact.

Well done to all involved!

The whole thing will be broken eventually, it was raised for parts to help rebuild the G-2 already under restoration. The structure of Gelbe 3 is not strong enough to restore ''as is". Hopefully the Norwegian lakes will turn up a pristine example soon....

That's looks to be pretty complete for a parts source. Or would that be an incorrect assumption?
