was diving on this nearly complete Ju88 off Santa Caterina Southern Italy last year, look like the crew ditched and paddled ashore not far off land but in 36m and about 2.5km off shore Dived with Costa Del Sud dive crew...

the important

youd need a picture for ID mate,

generally from what ive seen of the Dutch recoveries they are jsut hunting for bones to bury. A lot of the airframe gets scrapped. not that much is left of the stuff these days

anyone know what became of this wreck ???

Bearcat is a rare bird, its a pitty salt water destroys the airframes , in many cases the only survivors of some types are in salt water

congrats on the find, I look for ww2 aircraft wrecks where ever im on holidays, but usually in clean waters. youve got to deal with the cold, bad viz and Sharks. well done :)

im not a 100% but did the later P51Ds have a 0 to 100 Manifold pressure gauges ??? im actually chasing one for my replica panel. kind regards and best luck

have a look through this site http://www.flensted.eu.com/

No I have both of these types for wing ammo guides, very different type. but thanks for the reply :)

interesting so on the earlier F4U -1a ??? Don't suppose you've seen parts manual's for that type ??

walking along Million dollar point in Santos, Vanuatu after a cyclone and picked up this , couldn't believe the condition for sitting on a beach for 70 years, just trying to figure out what type of US aircraft it went in , had it vapor blasted and sadly no production codes. any help ??

Forced down or KIA ?? if he was KIA he would be mentioned in a book called For your Tomorrow, great source for NZ service men lost.

Aozora, where are you located and do you collect parts to P40s ??? Im in Gold Coast and been collecting parts for both a E/M and N cockpit panel projects

Many thanks , aaaawsome
