Japanese seaplane base.
Japanese
Units Based at Kavieng Sea Plane Base:
958th Kokutai (F1M Pete & E13A Jake)
Today
Disused as a seaplane base since the war. Several aircraft wrecks
in the adjacent water that were strafed or bombed while
at anchor during the war.
Don Fetterly adds:
"30 meters away
from the base lies a Pete however this is badly smashed about. Both these
planes are just off the wartime float plane base at Kavieng. Further
in shore there is a excellent Pete (Mitsubishi F1M). This is upside
down and is remarkably intact except for a bad case of "anchor
rash" through the stb wing section. This rash is only recently
been done. I remember coming to kavieng some 18 years ago and
dived on this plane and it was perfect."
