A buddy of mine sent me this link today...

http://www.naxosdiving.com/content/view/64/97/lang,en/

...showing the wreckage of a WWII Beaufighter discovered on the seabed off the Greek island of Naxos.

Anybody have any more history/info?

Looks like the crew got out.

I say haul her up. What does this bring the Beaufighter population up to?

Would be awesome to find this girl's history?

With the low preserved population, it's almost a shame not to bring this one up. Looks relatively intact.
