    On June 12, around 15:00, a Focke-Wulf 190, German fighter aircraft dating from the 2nd World War, crashed in the Bay of Hyeres, 150 meters from the coast.

    The pilot, a French of sixty years, was unhurt. He joined the beach with jet ski that came immediately to rescue him. He was later recovered by firefighters from Marine-BAN Hyères.

    means the zone: the police helicopter, helicopter Dauphin public service of the Navy, the Coast Guard’s flagship, flagship of the S NAS Hyères.

    The pilot had practiced in the context of the meeting of the Centennial of Naval Aviation. The drives on the NAS Hyères have been temporarily discontinued.

    Translated with thanks to google, a jet ski came to the rescue so he may have not had to swim too far.

    £16,340 each, designated Fighter Type 14. Four of PR19 reconnaissance version were purchased in 1954.

    When these bombs are discovered and moved by the jcb are they likely to explode?

    Have bombs that have been dropped exploded under ground that have been buried for a number of years?

    How long does it take to defuse a bomb of this type?
