Is this the same Daniel hultgrun, who runs a website dedicated to Australian and tunnels and cave systems, that are supposedley full of war surplus and aircraft?

I visited his site some time ago, it seemed very long on X-files theory, and very short on physical evidence, photographs. His "message" board is odd too. I remember one thread where someone kept coming back with "There's nothing there mate, I know, I live there", to which Daniel kept ignoring, and posting more comments with exclamation marks, in the vein of "P-51 Mustang found in tunnel in Sydney shopping mall!" "CAC Boomerang found behind Dunny on sheep station!"

That's not exactly what he said, but you get the idea.
These Sydney aircraft have come up before, I've previously posted pictures, of the carriers actually setting off from Sydney, to dump the aircraft, so there is no doubt it happened. Howver, the condition of the aircraft after all this time, is very very very likely to be pants. As KiwiDave says. one bit has been hauled up, and it was in very very very poor condition. On another thread, someone was talking about a Corsair that had ditched off the californian coast, and how components had started to fizz badly, and it had only been in the water 3 days.

Still, this gentleman has his dreams, and I'd never take that away from him
