Corsair off Sardinia

Posted by Harm Jan Strating on Sun Aug 31, 2003 03:34:41 AM

Hi all,

while browsing through a book on scuba-diving neer Sardinia I came across a picture of a Corsair, nicely sitting on its belly underwater in 6 meters of water. The wreck appears to be in excellent condition (considering it is in salt water). The aft fuselage and tail-section appear to be missing.

Anyone any idea about the aircrafts identity. Considering its condition and location in just 6 metres of water it appears to be a good candidate for recovery. (if it hasnt already been recovered, I dont know when the picture was taken).
