right guys the box with bar typed in, is referring to rear belly antena bar what wire connects too ?

also notice the belly reciever bar is identical to earhart's electra 1, if u google it also notice it is in the exact position earharts is just before the wings span out if looking from underneath from rear of plane

For details of the ROV locations, search the Niku-VI records and TIGHAR TRACKS 2010, vol 26. (http://tighar.org/Projects/Earhart/Archives/Expeditions/NikuVI/PIPAreport/Niku6PIPAreportpage3.html) for one example, which includes a map. Also, the expedition daily reports give details of where the ROV was operating that day, and what conditions were like.

here's how they fit in flight Richie

Richie, can you check out areas in the video where the ROV props have cleared away some of the sediment/residue/silt from the reef. You don't need to invert the images, I just need to see areas that have had this spoil cleared away because what lies beneath is important, cheers mate.

Richie, sorry to bother you again. I need to find evidence of wire in the vicinity of where you pointed out a prop? don't think it is a prop but, if you can find any wire in this part of the video in this area that would be brill. 13:37:09;00 to whenever it all goes out of shot. Very small wheel like objects that wire could be guided around would be a bonus.

am checking it out now will post sum pics asap m8

Richie, If post 392's outline is a part of the plane I would sooner think it is part of the rudder/stabilizer assembly than a wing tip. The shape is closer to that as shown in the "Lockheed Model 10 3-View" that Jeff posted. Looks to me like one of the rudders. IF, in fact, it is a part of the plane and not a natural feature. LTM

Way to go!
While you are there can you find a better shot of this lump of tin in the video? It appears to have some sort of mark on it, a circle with something in it and a 'line' through it? Resolution is awful as the ROV is in full flight at this point of the footage.

Is this metalwork in the red box the way Richies wheel was secured to the rear bulkhead?The 'rope' goes across it unfortunately thus obscuring part of it, shame.

richie conroy · January 23, 2012, 12:13:33 PM

richie conroy · January 23, 2012, 12:22:49 PM
