That's an amazing find - it would be great if someone did recover it. The Japanese used them in China and I have often wondered if there are any lying around out there.



: Hi all,
:
: On Mikaels site there are two photographs of the only inta
: ct Fiat BR20 twin-engined bomber sitting in 50 metres of w
: ater near Italy's coast. There are currently no plans to r
: aise it.
:
: As there is no other substantial airframe extant, why hasn
: 't this airframe been recovered already? Strange consideri
: ng the fact that the wreck of a Reggiana R2002 was brought
: up several years ago and is under restoration.
:
: This Fiat Bomber must be a very important gap to fill if y
: ou ask me. Gregory, do you have any further info on this o
: ne?

: Cheers
