Bristol Beaufighter and Lockheed P2V Neptune

The Bristol Beaufighter lies upside-down on a pristine sandy seabed at a depth of about 37 to 38 meters. When divers descend to the wreck, they can explore the intricate details of this small but intriguing airplane. The aircraft’s pulley systems, engine mechanisms, and even a tire from the plane’s wheel can be seen. The tail of the aircraft is situated about 5 meters away from the main body.

A Lockheed P2V Neptune aircraft built in the USA as a maritime patrol aircraft and submarine hunter, known in the Royal Air Force as the Neptune MR.1, crashed during a landing at Luqa Airport on 13 January 1956.  After salvaging usable parts, the aircraft was sold for filming and sunk in the late 1950s for underwater scenes in the film The Silent Enemy, released in 1958.
