There is an MOD analogy here. A Hastings went into the sea just off the island of Gan in the Indian Ocean where a postwar RAF staging post was located until c mid-1980s. There weren't many on board and I think they all got out. AIUI, the MOD is still warning off (attempting to?!) people from diving on it (Gan is now a popular holiday resort in the Maldives). There is a RAF Gan website.
