Thanks for the info on the wheel. I note that it is the starboard unit and from the sonar scan that would appear to be the wing still attached to the fuselage. I believe that the LSC was fitted with a type ‘D’ stabiliser which was of metal construction and had a type ‘C tail fin which I think was wooden construction. The ‘triangles mentioned as being part of the Altair construction are surely no more than the ‘bay bracing’ between the spars. The Orion, Sirius, Altair family are constructurally incestuous and it would be interesting to know exactly what materials were used in the various components.
