Title: Headlight glass from Electra found in water near Buka ?

Apparently the Electra was completely covered in coral, resembling a Flintstones aircraft.

So they found maybe a piece of an airplane, in an area near an airfield that saw extensive aerial combat in WWII. Every time Tighar finds aluminum, the skeptics say it is from a WWII airplane that crashed 150 miles away.

From Wikipedia: Today the airport is the primary air portal into Bougainville, and even 75 years after the war, wreckage from the military use of the airfield by the Japanese and Americans is easily found in the area.

Yeah, right- good luck on all of your theories and suppositions! ;) ;D

But I'm sure there are people lining up to contribute to his "cause"!
