: We've discussed that. There's another long, narrow, deep lake
: nearby. The air museum is convinced Gaspereau Lake is the
: location though. There's a lot of anecdotal evidence, and there
: was a sighting by a search helicopter crew's SAR-techs. They'd
: intended to dive it themselves, but the helicopter and crew were
: lost in an accident a few weeks later. That was the start of the
: fire dept. divers involvement helping the air museum. We've got
: a couple pictures from the time (mid-40's) of the aircraft on
: the ice. It was an engine out forced landing. The story is the
: recovery crew had fires on the ice to warm the engines for a
: re-start, the ice let go and down it went. It could be embedded
: in feet of silt, or may have gone down in or by a rock
: formation. It's dark enough down below 30 feet we could swim by
: it ten feet away and not see it. The logistics and harsh
: conditions on this lake are an issue too. We've had some close
: calls, rock hits, diver entanglements etc. The four foot eels
: put some people off too. If we get some new information I'll
: dive it again, but I haven't been there for a few years now.

Nice mystery :)
