Kawanishi flying boats near Korovou in Shortland Islands
Posted: Wed Nov 22, 2006 5:52 am
In a Flightpath magazine article 'Rust in Peace' from 1992 (V4 N4) by underwater photorapher Peter Stone there is a reference to the wrecks of 3 Kawanishi flying boats in the channel near Korovou, Shortland Islands (Solomans).
Does anyone have any info on these wrecks, the type of Kawanishi - Mavis or Emily and any operational details including the story of their demise. Photos of course would be worth a mint!
Seriously, any help in the identification of these aircraft or the contact for or location of Peter Stone would be invaluable.
