lucky find in the Aegean
Hi gents,
A trawler from the island of Naxos brought with its nets near Ikaria a valuable Arado 196 on the surface. A part of it. The bird was lying aprox. 480 m deep. I think, i have it in my book, it must be: 28.02.44 Ar 196 A3 (W.Nr. 0216) 100% infolge Maschinenschadens vor der Insel Nikaria notgewassert, beim Abschleppversuch umgekippt und gesunken. I found the story here with a lot of pics: http://www.scubadive.gr/forum/showthread.php?t=5968 regards Byron Last edited by byron-; 14th July 2013 at 18:07.

Re: lucky find in the Aegean
Hello,
the find just occurred. The fisherman wants to keep it, as reward for having his nets destroied, we `ll see what happens. I hope Tatoi museum will take care. The inhabitants of Naxos want to have it placed in shallow waters in order to desplay it as a divers attraction. Some more pics. Byron Last edited by byron-; 9th March 2013 at 10:35.

Re: lucky find in the Aegean
Nice find, a shame the canopy isn't more intact, it could have been used to fix the Arado in USA that was vandalized by a bridge ....

Re: lucky find in the Aegean
I agree with you Mike,
the fisherman doesn`t have any legal right to keep the plane, maybe he deserves some conpensation. Being an underwater attraction? it will be soon looted. the only solution is the Tatoi musem where it can be preserved. byron
