Hi All,
About two years ago I stoped in Diego Garcia on the way back from a dive off of South Africa. Got to inspect both of these real well they would make a nice static display if the Local gov decided to due something with them. Since Diego is British maybe we can get the the RN or Coastal Command to fix one of these up. The outer wings for these are laying in the brush and I saw at least one of the engines out in the surf. Also will I was their i got to talk to some of the locals about three other wrecks out in the Lagoon one is reputed to be a Spit does anyone know about this the other two are US types I could'nt get the permission to go out and do the dive because of the military.
Well I hope this info. helps
Cheers Rob R
