@ Andreas hi,

That`s a good idea with a lot of difficulties

1) the sidescaner belongs to the maritime institute of Patras university, the professor is a very kind man, but one has to pay for all expences.
Investigating with private sidescaners is in Greece vorbidden because of the antiquities.

2) one has to visit first the island and ask the fishermen if they know anything about the wreck, where, how deep, etc. otherwise you need weeks to scan the area. Since these wrecks are good fisching places, the fishermen keep their mouth shut.

3) to get the permission in this protected area is an other thing.

@ Remi you are right

we have two different infos
27.05.42 Ju 88 A4 (W.Nr. 140225) 100% Notlandung See bei Insel Psathoura,

and
FF. Ltn. Hasso Holst, Ju 88 A4 (B3+MH, W.Nr. 140212) 100%, Notlandung See bei der Insel Psathura infolge Brennstoffmangel 26.05.42, Besatzung gerettet, Flugzeug versank,


which is the right one?
