You're Top Poster: #2  | I suspect this is the aircraft featured in the awesome Naxos video above with the beautifully clear water. Anyone get the Oct issue of Aeroplane Monthly?! http://www.aeroplanemonthly.com/news...1.html?aff=rss A complete and almost intact RAF Bristol Beaufighter has been discovered by divers at a depth of about 110ft in the eastern Aegean, off the island of Naxos. Its identity has not yet been ascertained, but it could be from 252 or 108 Sqn. This is just a taster - see October's Aeroplane magazine for the full story and exclusive pictures.

You're Top Poster: #3 | I think we will have to name you snapshot. You and Andy in Oz will be doing duelling banjo's!
__________________ Spidge, ------------------------------------------------------- My Avatar is the memorial to the 22 Commonwealth Coastwatchers at the Temakin Cemetery on Betio (Tarawa Atoll) who were beheaded by the Japanese on 15th October 1942. http://www.dva.gov.au/media/publicat...mem_beito.html "You were given the choice between war and dishonor. You chose dishonor and you will have war." (Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.) What did the Australians do in ww2 and other conflicts?

You're Top Poster: #2 | Geedee, from memory (dodgy) a former Aussie Beau? I need to get my act together and post a pic of the Spidgeman in front of the Moorabbin Beau.
