It is entirely possible that the fuselage nose worked its way down the beach /reef from the location of the Bevington object over a three year period until it passed the bow and began to be washed back and forth up and down the reef north to south & vice-versa to be photographed serendipitously at the surf line at low tide in the 1941 photo. In the 1942 photo of the shipwreck, just off the starboard bow, this same object or fuselage nose is visible with the distinctive nose shadow or dark spot but it is more blurred. I posted earlier in this thread that above that blurry nose image in the 1942 photo is the distinct outline of the tail or left horizontal stabilizer (curved on one side & straight-edged "parallel" to it) with horizontal line hints of the trim tabs. In the 6 months between photos, this fuselage piece has been driven further onshore probably spared further movement to the west, by the lee of the shipwreck, from the longshore drift or flow of the ocean, surf and currents. It is possible that once the fuselage piece went beyond the shipwreck & further toward the beach, it became subject to the westerly flow of the tide and water and washed off the reef somewhere to the west of the NC. A lot of time and money was spent on a 1 mm image that was enhanced to produce a landing wheel from a 1937 photo. I do not know where this 1941 original photo is located or if there is even a negative of it but I do think that this closer-to-the-camera and rather distinct object highly similar to the Electra's nose in the 1941 photo bears some professional scrutiny much as the Bevington object did. It's shiny, not rusty all the way around, and, to me, is clearly the nose section of the plane. We only have two Norwich City photos with enough detail to use; this Electra fuselage nose object is in both. In the 1942 photo, the tail section above it is highly reflective, not rusty. While the idea of how it got there is intriguing, whether along the reef beach or submerged on the reef rim, it's there! If you believe in the Bevington object and what it is touted to be (I do), you have to believe that somewhere between there and the shipwreck, other debris existed for a time. The wreck itself and all the rusty junk broken off it are distracting to any viewer of the photos and anyone looking at the wreck until you relax and take in every single image and shape visible in the photos including some so light they seem to blend into the background. This is a deserted island from the 1880s until Earhart landed here on July 2, 1937. The natives spoke of airplane wreckage. Well, I do believe I found an even better telltale piece of wreckage than the landing wheel. Additionally, I do not think daily tours or visits went out to the wreck itself at low tide. The settlement is across the lagoon channel from the wreck. Aircraft parts probably broke off and washed across the channel to the settlement side & were found. We have 2 photos and I've tried to make the best of them. After building dozens of scale R/C planes in my younger days, I cannot help but see the Electra's nose in this 1941 photo and the horizontal stabilizer in the 1942 photo just above the blurry image of the shore-driven nose and next to the dark, rusty object with the "horn" prevalent in both photos and that strangely shaped object in nearly the same location in both photos. Ballard wanted more definitive proof that Earhart landed on Gardner. This is the best I could come up with. I've little doubt that my analysis is correct and the Electra is there just a few meters from the low tide surf line next to the stern of the SS Norwich City (and off the bow in the 1942 photo).
