Re: He 177 Montpellier 26 Jan 44
Hi everyone
indeed, étang de l'or is same as etang de Mauguio;
Many aircraft are there. There is a famous Bloch152 that dozens of people here in France have been dreaming to take out of the mud (engine failure at take off, crashed in the swamp, and slowly sank),
I also heard about a JU88, and a He177 is possible as well. Maybe was this He177 recovered, it is difficult to know, the witnesses of that crash would be 90 year old + today..
Someone with a lot of money and a lot of political leverage (to get the authorizations) would find treasures in that lake;
However, it is salted water, so, an aircraft taken out such lake would suffer from strong and quick corrosion (such as the Do24 taken out of Biscarosse lake in the 80's, which ended up in a junk, failing a full restauration, a pity) a full electrolysis would be necessarry, as for the Do17 currently being restored in Cosford. So, a lot of money, again !
Have a great sunday, everyone..
