Hi, Sophia.

Sorry to bring up this old thread again but on the subject of Amelia Earhart did you know that a company called Deep Sea Vision believed they may had found Earhart's plane earlier this year?

Amelia Earhart's long-lost plane may have been found, says underwater exploration company Deep Sea Vision

Unfortunately, they've just gone back for another look with high resolution equipment and it turned out to be an unusual rock formation.

They thought they’d found Amelia Earhart’s plane. Instead, the search continues

Looks like the mystery will remain unsolved... for now.

Hi Carl. It’s always interesting bringing up a topic still shrouded in mystery.
And those images really do look like a plane shape!
Are they sure it’s just rocks?

Yep, definitely looks like rocks to me, Sophia.

Now that we know it wasn't a plane, I'm still inclined to believe Earhart and Noonan made an emergency landing on Gardner (now called Nikumaroro) Island.

https://www.ozpolitic.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1593912811/84#84

And I also believe that most, if not all of the distress calls heard for nearly a week after the disappearance came from Earhart.

Very tragic.

Back in early 1980s I scuba dived in PNG.
During WWII Rabaul was a major Japanese military base. There were at least 50 ships and many airplanes sunk in the harbour. Most of them still were there.

That’s interesting.
Have many of these ships and planes been identified?

Yes, ships were Japanese cargo with fuel and equipment, planes mostly American who were attacking Japanese ships and defense tunnels.

This video gives some idea about the place.

Rabaul and Walindi plantation before it became resort. I worked in New Britain for about 6 months and used to come down from hills every fortnight to demagnetize  Cool

Yes, a talent scout at the PA forum spotted him and asked me to invite Tallowood there. Good call. We only like the good ones at PA. That includes you too Sophia.  Wink

Carl has been invited. But he declined politely because he would miss Aquascoot too much.😜
