Nachtjagd I think you are referring to “Glenn Miller’s last flight” C4. Alan Ross was the researcher and the diving was carried out by Wight diver Martin Woodward.

Yup the mod attitude finishes it for me so get the drums out have a fanfare do whatever sad folks do I am away. For those with an interest you know where we are.
Over and out

Haha this is priceless really quite entertaining now, what a shame folks are so aggressive behind the keyboard, however anyone with a real interest knows were to go, can’t say more than that.

I don’t get a lot of time to check out this thread and it all seems pretty much of a plane crash in itself… Still forums are forums everyone is entitled to their opinion, absolute respect for that. However whilst reading through it is all a bit depressing and I do know there are some here that are genuinely interested in what is going on. As has been mentioned we have a duty to the folks that have backed our fuel expenses and they will get news ahead of everyone else which is only fair, that said it will ALL be coming out in the public domain very slowly because that is the way of the job, progress is slow. For those interested you can keep up with developments on the Deeper Dorset website particularly the news section, latest is here https://www.deeperdorset.co.uk/as-long-as-it-takes/ Finally this is not just about finding out where the aircraft is it is about finding out the truth that so many think they already know and one thing I can say for sure, they don’t. Despite all the criticism we have taken on here the forum is still very informative and has on occasion been very helpful, there are some very knowledgable folks here as well as the usual keyboard warriors and armchair experts.
Best to all which ever you are.

Rescheduled from yesterday to today R4 PM and another twist to the tale…

In answer to Propstrike we don’t think the odds are that long or we wouldn’t attempt it, that said it is a tough job. Who said we were looking for bullet holes we didn’t? We don’t know what lies on the seabed nor what it might tell us we can only wait and see what we find. As for amateur divers not knowing what they are looking at firstly the divers around me know more than you might think but camera’s, video, photogrammetry tell the story on the surface where we can show them to the folks that know more than we do. Until we find the site we are not even sure we will be able to use divers however we have an ROV.

As for conceding anything what I actually said was we will probably never understand his thinking, there are a lot of things however we can understand as we progress. We never said it was a scandal again we are only dealing with the facts and any physical evidence. Do not worry if you think you might sound discouraging we have had much worse from the armchair experts. Why would the other targets be more fruitful how could anyone possibly know that?

The famous Norseman is a good example for us and makes the Hercules sound easy in comparison which it isn’t. What remains of the Norseman will be an engine, possibly a few other bits such as parts of the undercarriage and almost certainly a trawler will have pulled up the engine after dragging it a few miles then chucked it back over the side. Is it impossible to find? No it isn’t however what you would require is a sensible sized search area which no one as yet as far as I can see is very sure of. The issue with the Hercules is that it is surrounded by rumour and fifty years of whispers, I repeat we are not saying it was a conspiracy or a cover up, suffice to say it was a mark 1 cockup that the aircraft was allowed to leave the ground in the first place. The Meyer family want to know where the aircraft is and would like to know or at least have some idea of what actually happened, and their request for information falls on deaf ears even after fifty years.

At this time we have no physical evidence, when we have physical evidence we may be able to learn more or may be not, however leaving it lost in the channel will get us nowhere. That is me done we thought the aviation community might be interested and it doesn’t appear that way but let’s see what happens when we find it.
