Brian Bennett adds:
"I think that it was a non-operational loss and if all got out then it would not be written up."

Rod Pearce recalls:
"Richard Leahy has visited this wreck. I also recall there is the wreck of a P-47 on the beach with its wheels down (I think) slightly down the coast from this wreck."
