I read some time ago about some planes in Labrador, one a B17 had force landed on a frozen lake and not recovered, later she sank to the bottom and also a B24 Liberator suffered the same fate, ultimately the 17 and the 24 were in fine condition for there time under water, the 17 was salvaged but an export permit would not be given by the Govt involved as they said it was the people of labradors property blah blah usual BS these types run, the plane sits in a recyclers yard while the ownership battle continues, these two old girls should be raised and restored for the later generation etc, this happens everywhere the planes lay decaying in jungles or at the bottom of lakes but it also applies to other types of military machinery, I wonder how many tanks are still laying under the sand dunes of the African deserts probably never again to see the light of day guess it needs desire to first find them and then the money to retrieve and restore.

They must have reinforced the front diff with telecom rope, still pretty awesome though. Wouldn't need seatbelts, reckon they would have a very tight (hands free) grip on the seats
