It’s a ruler pictured with a random bit of steel, why over complicate things? 🤔🤪

Out of respect mainly just  as was the case of the B17 I mentioned earlier,  if it can be positively identified and then confirmed lives were lost in a  plane then certain steps are put in place, That particular site was designated as a war grave and a wreath was laid by US representatives. If we get confirmation of the type lost here I’ll update the post.

I wasn’t intending to belittle your efforts, just add a little humour. Are there any records of rough locations of the lost planes?

No offence taken bud. 
yeah loads but it’s a task to sort it out and often as not things didn’t always come down in daylight.

To have survived subsea for any time that rod would have to be 316 stainless which (I am guessing) was very rare during wartime and would only be used for something submerged subsea constantly, no point putting stainless components on an aero engine.

My guess is it is nothing to do with the aero engine and it probably fell off a small fishing boat - part of a creel winch or something fishing related.

Pratt and Whitney twin wasp with a Hamilton 3 blade variable blade prop set up.  

I was out walking the dogs yesterday and a chap was flying a model  Vaught Corsair which made me wonder if there were any updates on this find, was it only one engine that came up? How was it identified?

Only one but mag survey imagery showed a twin engine configuration. Once it was confirmed as plane wreckage we ain’t been allowed back on that location. Still waiting for positive ID. The generic type of Engine is easy enough to identify it’s the actual model and an id number that can be traced that’s the key.
