Depth 10-11 meters.
The wreckage lies among rocks which makes it difficult to differentiate actual wreckage from the rocks on the sonar.
The Lancaster is spread over a large area and the largest pieces, according to the sonar, is approximately 0.5 meter.
The bottom is a mix of sand and rocks. Visibility is predominantly good, with a rich wildlife. The location is suitable for UV photography.
