Yes tony, there is more stuff in the area. i know there is two P-47, and a french navy Hellcat. this aircraft was found recently (about two years ago) by divers.it was in superb condition when found (just missing the propeller)
The pilot escaped the crash and told the navy that he crashed due to engine failure.We know now that it was a lie as he crashed flying low level above water, just for fun and hit surface.
What about this mustang in a bog ? never heard about this one ?
