SM 79 Sparviero - Recent discovery in the Aegean sea

[al49]

Hi to all,
an almost intact Sparviero, that belonged to Gruppo Buscaglia of Aeronautica Nazionale Repubblicana, has been recently discovered 60 meter deep.
If you want to have a look on the wonderful pictures taken on the site, just go to this link

As mentioned in the Italian comment, this bird could be the one that had a forced sea-landing on August 5, 1944.
Cheers
Alberto

Hello Terry,
photos have been posted on 150gct by the famous Italian expert Ferdinando d'Amico and I presume they are of his property, so I post just one as example with the source printed on:

To access to the site and see all of them, I think you must register.
The site is of course in Italian, but English is widely understood, if you would like to ask questions on Italian bird history.
Cheers
Alaberto
