Re: HMS Eagle aircraft loss September 1927
Hi fellows!
Thanks a lot for your answers! The crew of the plane survived, it was salvaged from the water and was aboard the lower deck when the carrier anchored in Split on 28 September. The plane was equipped with "bags filled with air for case of water landing" and that's how it remained afloat, I have no idea what this might be or whether Flycatcher or Bison (or both) had something like that.
Stig, yes please send it to me!
Best regards,
Boris
