Just been digging through my camera pics and remembered about ones I got of the Bristol Beaufigher which is lying upside-down at 37m on the north coast of Malta.

Port engine & prop (slightly bent):-

Some history here:-

Going to try and visit this Hawker Siddeley 748 next, which was recently sunk at a dive site in the North West:-

Nice pics MrTim. Very effective multi role aircraft, much like the Mossie. Not a very good submarine, though. :( At least the crew were saved. :)
