I thank you very much Tasos.
Secondly my responds to your questions are the following:
1. As far as I know the airplane is not salvaged by the Greek Air Force. The travel guide I have in my hands was edited in 2008 so I don;t know if in the past year happened anything.
As far as I know from friends, nothing happened in the last year. The scanned article informs (I just mention it for the non Greek speaking readers ) that there where discrepancies, regarding the salvage costs, between the finders (the Greek sponge divers) and the authorities (the Greek Air Force). The sponge divers refused to work for such a low salary. Acceptable
2. I don;t know the exact condition of the airplane wreckage. Taking in concern the existing photo I would say that it is not in very good condition.
Well, if the photo is from 1991 I also think that not much has been left, almost 20 years later, due to the souvenir hunters and the swallow water. In any case it is worth a visit to this area just to check out the location, the condition of the wreckage and for sure to take some good photos.
3.The depth , according to the diver , is 33 meters.
Alas, it is accessible almost for everybody who wants to just have a "souvenir" of a WWII wreckage without taking care of the importance of such a historical subject.
4.Yes , I am kind enough to attach a scanned copy of the article!!!!!! :-)
I thank you very much indeed Tasos!!!
Hope I help you in anyway.
Absolutely
Tasos
