Jeff/Richie, in your efforts thus far to stitch stills together, have you noticed any relationship or alignment with what you've seen as to location of pieces and parts aligning with where they would be expected to be if this is an aircraft? For example, does Jeff's posting of the possibility of a part of the floor/door/and side of fuselage run in the general direction of Richie's pilot's window/engine still, and what is the distance between them? I'm thinking that aside from the main spar and cockpit area, the next most rugged and durable area would have to be the cargo floor of the plane. It was built to either hold cargo or seats for passengers and would have to be of sturdier construction than the overhead. IF the plane went over the edge and was banged up by the surf on its way down and then settled into a groove or somewhat protected area along the reef, I could see where the wings, tail, and upper surfaces of the fuselage could be beaten and torn off by the surge, allowing them to be tossed ashore over time while still leaving a possibly substantial portion relatively intact on the bottom. It is curious how many metal bits there seem to be and, yes, I am fascinated by the ghostly image of the engine/propellor and possible cockpit window that Richie has posted. As far as possible recovery. I do think that it would be possible with minimal disturbance of the reef environment. Most of what I have seen is rubble and sediment which would settle back without issue. Any fuel aboard is long gone. There may be oil in the engine(s) but even that may have escaped over the years. If it is what it may be I think the recovery would be worth the time and effort to all involved. LTM- John
