Thanks again for the links and info. The pieces of this story are coming together. I think the person I spoke to was referring to this story with something less than full fidelity.
I read the "wheel of fortune" bulletin and recall reading somewhere on the TIGHAR site that debris has a tendency to flow from the high seas into the lagoon along this path?
I also noted the quote from the bulletin:
We now, however, note that two of our most interesting artifacts were found on the borders of the overwash and we suspect that a detailed search of that area may turn up more aircraft wreckage that was driven ashore and buried in the sand.
I understand that cost is a consideration, especially below water, but if it were not, would this be an area TIGHAR would be interested in investigating? Assume whatever technological means necessary would be employed.
Related to that, I would ask the same question regarding the larger, general area of the Bevington photo, to a depth of 500 m, or more if circumstances suggest it?
I realize these are somewhat hypothetical questions, and I'll take the answers in that light, but I'm just trying to get a sense of what you think is feasible and advisable in the context of your larger project plan, which also includes excavation ashore.
