sorry phil,
the engine nacelles would be that area of the aircraft that the engines are located at, more or less where the cowls are, this areof the aircraft is usually quite unique……that and the landing gear bays which are going ot be just behind the engines in this case.
all ofthe aircraft types considered here have large teardrop shaped fairings which hold the engine at the front (in whatever form) and behind that a bay for the main landing gear. The fairings being located at about a 1/3 of the wing span on each side of the aircraft.
this area can be a dead giveaway for aircraft type, and although the aircraft is upside down it is still going to be enough to identify the aircraft type.
I understand that vis conditions in the sea are nearly always dismal around our coastline, but perhaps two pictures could deal with this whole section of aircraft, in an attempt to identify the type.
it is true that features like geodetic construction will give away the aircraft type if it is a wellington, but if not, what then is it?
another are for consideration would be the tail surfaces, even upside down, a vague outline of the horizontal stabilizers would be enough to fix an aircraft type.
just some thoughts for your consideration!
keep up the good work.
have you ever dived off of anglsey? there are a great many wrecks there if i remember rightly?
