I spent a few hours watching various videos and looking at books - I am pretty sure that what this guy has come across is a B32 The dimensions and details I observed are clearly in this class of Aircraft, particularly the tail profile and turret placement as well as wing profile.

A word of warning though don't expect this to come back easily or at all as it is very deep and at present only accesable via small remote cameras- think Titanic plus depths and why anybody would spend the money necessary to bring it up. As an aside all the hatches are missing / open so this indicates to me that the crew or most of them got out - I hope so Still it is very interesting.

Again I will post location and pictures when I have them. If someone has access to details of all B32 crashes in this theatre I would appreciate them.
