Well, it s one way I suppose :0)
I just found out, that Havatsu, is where London Bridge went.
Now, from the map, it's 60 miles from Kingman, 160 miles from Vegas and in a tristate area. it borders California, Nevada and AZ. I just sent a e-mail to the local tourist board, who will probably advise me to "take a hike and have a nice day" but no harm trying. I am looking for piccies of the thing right now. The Chap who created it out of nothing, Robert Mccullough, was errrrr pretty blimmin rich, he even diverted a river, to provide better water quality for the lake.
This aircraft has been in the water since 43-44, and water quality, didn't improve till 66. However, I am concerned about the salt content, it may be fresh, but it's still in the salt flat run-off area, so how salty i don't know. I think the next place I'll try is Uni of AZ to see if they know anything. You have to understand, there wasn't even a town there, till the late '50's so going back thru old newspapers is not going to help. All we know is, it's there, and begging to see the light of day once more.....
Come to your Uncle Tony little metal Hawg Boy..... lol
