A Me 323 Gigant found on the seabed off Sardinia!

Thanks to Chris Simmonds over on LEMB, here is the information about the finding off the Maddalena archipel next to Saridina of the well preserved wreck of a Me 323 Gigant shot down 26 July 1943:

Here is the link to the LEMB thread:

And a link I've just found with some pics of the Gnome et Rhône engines and a wheel... Pretty impressive!

What is even more surprising is the portrait of the diver who made the discovery: follow the link above;-))

Cheers
Marc
