Hi from England

Hiya,

Just looking in from England. Seriously into SCUBA Diving and wreck hunting. Recently got into hunting ditched aircraft around the UK.

I have a few. I have been working with a team who run the website divetheworld.com but have only really been looking for aircraft for the past year or so. Makes better photography as you can get more in the viewfinder rather than just acres of steel on a shipwreck.

There are some great pictures of aircraft that have ditched. He guys spend a lot of time hunting and at the moment they are looking in the lakes and lochs for freshwater ditchings to see if they are recoverable for museums. I try to get involved in as much as I can but it's time that's the problem

Does that mean if someone is rude to me I can be rude back? (insert manic cackle here).
