Hi folks,
I picked up the print version of this on my way back to Aus. The linked photos a stunner, and though I don't think we'll see a Pete recovered, it's still nice to spot one nonetheless.

Sorry I can't link the photo direct, it comes out HUGE.

Location is Simpson Harbour Rabul. The August issue of the mag's got a lot of aircraft wreck photos, as well as a couple of tanks, and lots of wartimes ships and sub references. Interesting one.
