Bristol Beaufighter

The twin-engine heavy fighter suffered engine failure soon after take-off and the crew survived the ditching. Most of the aircraft is buried in sand, but the wings and centre fuselage are largely intact. Both undercarriage frames stick up behind the radial engines, and the port propeller is still attached. Moray eels hide around the propellers. The limited depth time makes this a short dive for recreational divers.
