This is from page one of this thread:

Here's some info via Rob Rohr: "Yes the families were contacted by myself 17 years ago, they request at that time for the bodies not to be recovered, in turn the Commonwealth Grave Commission contact me and we decided that under the UN War Graves Act that these planes would be declare War Graves. As far as all the legal stuff, well if you wish I can tell you offline. Also as far as other aircraft in the lake - yes, there is a TBF. I have dived on it. It's in about 75 feet of water. The duck is still sitting over near the State Park and since it's near the park, the State will not let it be recovered. The other three Corsairs that crash in Sebago Lake were recovered during the war. One crash landed on the East Side shore the other two crashed near where the Light House is now, in the shallows. They were recovered by the FAA out of Lewiston NAAF. If anyone want more information please feel free to email me."


So, to quote MC Hammer... "Can't touch this."
