Bear with me….!
Home again for the next few days so have some time to watch some “local” TV !
I noticed that there is a re run of the above detective series on Satellite channel UKTV drama (is there ever anything else on it but repeats?) and in particular an episode at 23.30 tonight.
I think this episode contains shots of what appears to be a sunken Me110.
anyone know anything about the aircraft / replica ?
Also fascinating prog on Natl Geographic about a group of Italian scuba divers who went exploring the shallows of Salerno beach…..found what appeared to be a JU 88 amongst other things.

No recollection of any 110’s going down in the waters around this fair island, several JU88’s and the odd HE111, as well as several different RAF and USAAF types…
Ian,
Not a ‘real’ Me110, we are talking about the plot of the story and the use of a mock up similar to the one used in ‘Monarch of the Glen’.
See this thread about such TV replicas……..

The aircraft in last nights episode certainly had a long glazing section with an upward hinging hatch, while the plot revolved around all & sundry recovering some items Goering liberated in 1940. The good guys won !

Melv,
Yeh, i flicked through my VCR recording this morning. AR501 was prominent although not much in the way of Me110, only underwater. I’m sure i’ve seen a Bergerac episode where the fuselage is pulled from the water in a harbour though :confused:

Ironically AR501 suffered flak damage during a sortie to Guernsey, IIRC, in 1943.
Much of Bergerac was filmed in the UK.

Isn’t that the same episode where Jim visits an aircraft museum on Jersey and it is filmed up the Shuttleworth’s back passage?
