Question, If the water level inside the tail section is the same as the water level of the sea outside the tail section, would there be any discernable increase in weight or stress caused by the flooding? If the tail section retained water as the tide recedes then I would think there would be an increase in weight load, but if the water drains out at the same rate as the tide recedes the water levels should remain equal. No?

Good point.  I agree.

I think it would depend on how large or small the holes were that were letting the seawater in and out. 

If holes were large, I'd agree with this.  If small, maybe not so much.

As a test, here's a jpeg that gives us a rare view (over AE's left shoulder) of part of the inside of the nav window that was later replaced with the patch.

The forum has been very quiet.......

I understand the Jeff Glickman donates his time and thus has to do TIGHAR analysis in between paying jobs, but isn't there a little update/tidbit you could give us while we're waiting?  I know he had said the images looked promising.........

Jeff hit a bit of a snag which has now been resolved. The cutting edge super-resolution software Jeff wants to use is not commercially available.  He was able to do a rough proof-of-concept test using a "watermarked" demonstration copy.  The results were excellent.   He got in touch with the developer and was able to arrange for TIGHAR to get a free license to a full copy the software.  Jeff is now setting up all the parameters necessary to run the full program on the digitized images from the 16mm film.
Also, in mid-July, TIGHAR videographer Mark Smith and I are scheduled to meet with metallurgists at a lab in Massachusetts who are experts in the mechanical failure of metals. They will examine Artifact 2-2-V-1 to determine how each of the four edges of failed - what forces were required to cause the damage and what events or tools may have been used.

Thanks for the update, Ric.  I'm very glad to hear that the software developer was so helpful.  I will also be very interested to hear what the Massachusetts lab has to say.
