In reply top ..and a Thunderbolt in Lake havasu AZ posted by Indiana Tony on Sun Oct 21, 2001 10:27:13 PM

Ok, just got off the phone to the US, and spoke to a very very nice lady, who knew a lot about it.

it's still there, it hasn't been dived on for a couple of years, its complete, but very difficult to find, as it's in a submerged forest (is anything ever easy?)

She believes there may be some photographs around of the wreck. The locals know all about it, but she acknowledges that out of towners don't.

The lake's salt content, is not significant, so good news there. So, one P47 waiting to be recovered. There may be a slight problem, as every other building in Havasu is called Thunderbolt, including the local school, so I guess they All know about it, and well, it looks so unseemly to be chased through a desert town, with a mob howling at your heels with lighted torches etc.....

.....Oh, and I asked for our bridge back :0)
