Paul's got a copy of the "Whitley File" I think.....

Certainly remains off the UK coast, and Elliot Smock went looking for one, and found a B17 instead.

As regards other remains, Germany for definite, possibly Alpine regions as well. Whitleys definitely down off ST. Davids point in Cornwall, and I'm still wondering exactly what aircraft are in the sea at BurntIsland Devon.

Albemarles? Ashbourne quarry Derbyshire, substantial remains in the 80's, mainly because the things were driven off Ashbourne airfield, and dumped in there. But once again, such an unloved and unrecognised aircraft, no one has been interested, maybe that will all change
