I was browsing some modelling websites and came across this on an IPMS site, click on the link
Great photos and judging from the Avenger(wings folded) dumped overboard
Allegedly 150 U.S AIRCRAFT in there !!!!!

Looking at the phot’os of what is an almost unique marque of B25 (in what appears to be in extremely good condition) at only 110 ft down,I would say that it is an airframe begging to be recovered:) 🙂 .The only two downers would be the inevitable distruction of the coral growth & opposition from local authorities, who no doubt would lose a lucrative diver/tourist attraction.:eek:
If I had the money I’d fetch her up myself:diablo: 😀

Pretty impressive stuff. 😎
Are there any plans for recoveries?

I am sure there will be very interesting photos, but the link is not working and the IPMS site is too complicated to locate the subject.;)
