Intact B-26 wreck in the Mediterranean

In a similar vein to the Wellington in the Aegean, here’s a B-26 Marauder off Corsica. Copyright of the photo as seen in the bottom corner.

The Facebook page (yes, I know some of you hate it/don’t use it/still write on slate) it was taken from also shows several P-47, a P-40, B-25’s and others. Its well worth a look.

Look at the photos in the Facebook page gallery, amazing amount left from glass fronted instruments and control columns to guns and internal fittings, I wonder how long she will last now that she is probably regularly dived? I am sure I remember seing early pics of the B17 they also show and it looks bare in comparison now!!!

Judging by how well its held together this long, I’d say better than most things dragged out of the Channel.

Wow ! That is an amazing sight. I wonder how the salt water has affected the structure.
