A thought or 2 for everyone to think about. I looked at the photos of the "runway" near the Norwich City. By the search plan, it was thought that the Electra came to rest about 400 meters north of the ship. I remember that Ric walked the reef to near this location, and found it fairly smooth, but with some crevasses; enough for a landing gear to get hung up. Looking at the Google Earth image, taken Feb. 22, 2007, it appears that the crevasse is right where Ric said it was, and corresponds with the Nessie image of the Bevington photo. I'm assuming the he was able to explore this area fairly well before the tides came in.
We also know that the ROV mapping in that area shows a steep dropoff to the bottom, whatever depth that is. We also know that on a previous expediition, a sonar fish was lost, somewhere near this area. I guess my point is, that Ric seems to have the location plotted pretty well. The wire that was found by the ROV----is it near the location that the sonar fish was lost, and was there any identifible parts of he ship down there? Second, we all think that the Electra cam apart as it went over the reef---except maybe one vertical stabilizer as shown on another photo of the shipwreck, 1939 I think. Engines, and props "might" have hung up on the slope, instead of going to the bottom. Over a period of time, the props decayed enough to allow the rest of the engine package to slide down the shope, but "may have" allowed part of the prop to stay imbedded in the slope. I dont know if the ROV was able to scan this part of the slope, and found anything-other than the wire.
