[QUOTE=BlueNoser352]Have never heard this, is there plan to raise the B-29 or photo’s taken of this . Wonder what a B-29 was doing in the ETO, I know during the war one B-29 came to England to show the Naz’s this bad boy was in the area. What year did this crash happen ? Maybe other’s here can supply some more informtion.QUOTE]

The machine crashed/ditched postwar in 1948 (or so). Was never seen since it sank, and wasn’t raised, so it still must be there. Chanches of it being raised are nil. BW Roger

Back in 1984 in Greenwood, South Carolina USA, they raised a B-25 Mitchell that had crashed on the Lake on of all days ..June 6th 1944 as the pilot got to low and tore off one of his engines. The B-25 is now on display in Columbia, South Carolina in almost perfect condition. I believe its at the state museum in downtown Columbia.

Thanks!

There is a B29 in more or less the same condition in Holland. 30 meters deep in the Westerschelde.It ditched and was afloat for either 30 or 90 minutes, but in either case, if it floats that long it can’t be that broken. BW Roger

as I recall, very deep… but even seat cushions and an open parachute inside… like a time warp. modest sediment too. very thin layer
