Tom, with all the hardware heading towards Nikumaroro there is a pretty good chance of finding 'whatever is down there' again. Unless of course there are more than one 'whatever there is down there'.
Although the Phoenix group of islands is in a remote part of the Pacific it does seem to attract a lot of 'activity'.
e.g. two ships run aground, three missing airplanes, ferry route for WW2 airplanes, stop over for Pan Am clippers, Pacific Island Settlement Scheme plus WW2.
Not really the backwater we are led to believe.

Thats true Jeff----just in the little bit of research Ive done, it seems that Canton and Sydney were magnets for aircraft accidents. And who knows about what the Japaneese might have done during the war. So yes----the next few weeks are going to be exciting----one way  of the other.

Wait ... I see a skull peering out of the bottom of that "box."

The skull is further down the reef face Monty, near where the pigs head was identified earlier in the thread  ;D

Ok---I think we all believe there is something down there. Even Ric, smiling for the TV cameras ( ;D) cant admit that he is busting with excitement over the possibility (probability) of finding wreckage from the Electra. That cautious optomism is very evident to me. Even in speaking to him in DC, I could tell that he wanted to believe the electra was down there.
Now---the great journey is upon us. Its not a make or break deal, but certainly we all hope for success.
Even though its difficult for me to see some of the things that you guys do, I have seen enough to visualize NR16020 there.
Find it Ric----she is there waiting for you.

Let's not be too hasty. It's aircraft wreckage but, it remains to be seen which aircraft and, who it used to belong to. AE/Purdue or US government?

Something I would like to put forward.
IF that is indeed a National HRO high-frequency communication receiver then, would I be right in theorising that it would have been bolted/screwed down to something to prevent it being tossed around in an airplane?

IF that is indeed what you think it might be, IMO you would be correct in assuming that "it would have been bolted/screwed down to something to prevent it being tossed around" if it were in fact used in an airplane.

Notice the cross section of the 'it's not an RDF antenna' in these images. Well, it might not be the RDF antenna.

Of course this type of 'it's not an RDF antenna' has to fit inside a dome which is attached to the outside of the airplane but first, notice the cross section

Which fits inside the dome, example, not the actual one, yet.
