to think, that the ark royal neednt have sunk if only they'd steamed to port SLOWER!

| the deeper the aircraft is in the sea, the slower the decay.
Maybe with the exceptions of Russia & the pacific, i dont think there will be many more warbird wrecks found above ground. the seas will be the place to get them from now on.

Country:  | from what I understand the deeper the wreck is the less corrosion I am trying to recall whether this is due to less salt or oxygen the deeper you go

| If that first picture isnt a -109 in the atlantic which i think it might be, the only other thing it might possible be would be a Ki-61 or -100 in the pacific, those resemble a -109 somewhwat. | |
