Looking for a Beaufort

Hi,

I’m following up on a story about a Beaufort ML620 ditching in St Brides Bay in Pembrokeshire in May 1945. Has anyone got any information about this aircraft. I have a report that says it ditched but that’s about all and there is a mention of Stack Rocks there too but not a lot else. I was wondering about getting together with some mates and see if we can find her.

Have you spoken to local dive clubs and researced the known dive sites in the area? If you pick anything up on the sonar I’d love to join the dive! Please keep me informed of your progress. Good luck.

Love to invite you. Anyway, I’ve only got this tow fish for three weeks and then I have to get it back and I really don’t have a starting point so I think I will just go out there and start towing and see what happens.

Will let you know.

Have already spoken to them but there seems to be very little knowledge and the dive clubs seem to visit the same wrecks all the time. There is a guy who has lent me this tow fish and I thought I would try it out and see what I could find.

Will keep you informed.

I think they’re all in the Red Lion in Duxford:D

HOW DARE THEY!!!!!! 😮 😮 😮

Drinking beer when some “REAL” enthusiasts are trying to find a wreck site. 😀 😀 😀 :dev2:

Seriously though, I have access to a sonar unit for lends for a couple of weeks and thought I would go looking for this one.

Any information on the other ditchings and crashes in St Brides Bay would be nice. Wellington HF204 and W5678 and the Beaufort ML620.

I’ve got a mate who has a video who’s going to come too so if we can find it we can get some video.
