Although the accident occurred in October 1960, it was not scuttled until November 1962 by which time it had been subject to spares recovery and open storage at Raiatea. There is a photo of it in storage, minus engines and floats, on page 114 of the undermentioned book.

I looked for it on Google Earth; didn't spot it. You'd think it would show up. Where is it in the lagoon relative to the runway?


I too would like to know where this one is located, for the Locator of course! I have created a "place holder" for this one for now...

At which end of the runway is it located? I can't see any shadows in Google Earth either, but the surrounding under-water terrain the the area might be hidding it.

Do you want to find locations of displayed, stored or active aircraft? Then start with the The Locator.
Do you want to find or contribute to the documented history of an aircraft? If so then start with the Airframes Database.
