Wartime History
Took off from Segi (Seghe) Airstrip and ditched 50' from shore off Segi (Seghe) off the airfield. The pilot swam ashore and survived.

Wreckage
Located in the water off the airstrip at Seghe about 50' from shore. The wreck is intact, including propellors and canopy. The 20mm cannon is still present, but the four 50 caliber machine guns are removed (unclear if wartime salvage or postwar). Little marine growth, and a popular dive site in the area.
