Le Wildcat

The single-seat fighter, more than 11 m in wingspan, is thought to have been pushed off an aircraft carrier in 1956 or 1957 after irreparable damage. It rests on its back with the engine and propeller under the tail section. Two machine guns are still in place in each wing, and two rectangular windows can be seen under the fuselage. Mio Palmo warns of frequent strong current and average visibility.
