Thanks Mick, Christer and lars.....

Now the problems are:
1. Dodgy serial
2. I can't find the place name on any atlas i'm looking at
3. Wel;l, I suppose you could regard the baltic as a Lake, exdcept, that we saw some stuff on this particular wreck, earlier this year, but it had been "discovered2 a year previously, not 1993. Soooooo is there another B17 in a lake in Sweden? 68 B-17's came down in Sweden, what happened to the rest of them, apart from the 9 impressed into Swedish service?

And for my next question, B17's operated by a german airline, well Aero Lloyd Bolivia. Looking at the Bolivian civil register, there are a substantial number of B17's and C-87's operated. Now apart from one derelict at La Paz, and one returned to the States in 1990, what happened to the rest?

regards all

Tony
