Richie,
Just one 2-shot  set of early location with labels.  there are more knobs and switches in pic if I'm correct, but too many labels already.  My drawing isn't too hot either...

If I may be right then we've got some clues to the scale of things in this area.

Richie,
Attached are some photo's you've seen I'm sure, with features highlighted.  The video sees this stuff, up close in many cases, but still outlines it.  The guages and the '30's style knob' are VERY close up early on.  After looking at these stills a bit, returning to the video you'll see what I imagine I'm seeing - these things highlighting parts of the cockpit.  Some may be upside down or not, in some cases, I can't tell.   

There are labels and/or lines on the pics to highlight objects.

Sorry if I'm going over old ground. I'm Still working on the panoramas - very hard!

the wheel in the 3rd pic, could well be what the arrow pointing to right in my attachment..

notice the knob to the left, just behind whatever it is sticking up were arrow is pointing

good work Leon any help is much appreciated

I think you're right, but the 'steering wheel'  will be much bigger.  You already found one of them, clearly, in another photo and an earlier post.  It was upside down compared to the press photos.
  I'm trying to get better images of the upper right, but I think the camera only wobbled up there once or twice. 

We'll see.

There clearly visible on the left. They're covered by 15 ft of silt, the bow of the Norwich, part of the Thresher, and of course all the right angled carefully machined coral.

Hadn't noticed it before but going back to the door shaped coral and the thin metal looking edges around it gave me an idea. Here's the back end of the detached 'cockpit' which also has thin metal looking edges...
Words used to describe objects are for reference, it does not imply that it's gospel truth that they are positively identified as such,YET, all are IMHO. That said, have a gander...

look at top left of picture at reef wall

strange patterns

[richie conroy]

these look more like sunglasses, rectangle box an the object in circle looks like the bracket outside door for air tester bar ?

Richie,
The reef+wall picture above  seems to have alot of detail in it.  I've got to spend some time on it!  Upper left I see an engine-propeller type thing, but it is way too small compared to other things in the photo.  Bottom right seems to have some very unusual coral shapes . . . I'll have to try to lighten that or something.
thnks so much.
Leon

this is ur wheel strut pic from ur first post i would say u can see alot of fastners ?

 

[richie conroy]

i have put arrows to point out the brackets

when u look at this image, if what people were saying about scale

is it poss this could be a engine ?

 

[Jeff Victor Hayden]

Scale will always be an issue down there and, on the reef. There isn't anything to compare possible objects with Richie. Until a yard rule goes down there with the ROV's it is difficult to tell. However, having said that there are certain possible objects that look 'suspiciously like' certain parts used in aircraft manufacture. So, unless there was a radio control model aeroplane flying club on Gardner Island I would say there's a good chance...
I have circled what I previously posted as being the remains of a radial engine, cowling/nacelle.  The radial engine is in poor condition and, has begun to fall apart so, what you have circled could certainly be part of it.

[richie conroy]

i still think the object in attachment is apart of fuselage or its a wing with radial

look at the bottom the square could be a flap of sum sort

[richie conroy]

look at the shape of the dark shadows top left above were we think an engine is ?

Could you be more specific - all I am seeing is lumps of coral.
