Lancaster update again

Posted by Cees Broere on Fri Feb 14, 2003 02:22:57 AM

Hi all,

Just to let you know.

Yesterday I spent another freezing day on board a Navy diving vessel over the site where Lancaster DV286 lies. Problem was that the divers had difficulty finding the centre of the wreck site. A day was spent looking for any clues at the bottom but other than a piece of floor skinning and part of a radiator and an oxygen flow indicator nothing more was found after the complete starboard aileron that was lifted out on tuesday.

It is planned to try again for a day in week 11 and with a major operation taking place during week 14 and 15. That will cost me a lot of days off but who is complaining.
