Hello all,
I have been researching the Canberra B-108 shoot down for over 10 years, and sometimes come across references to the nose wheel on Lively as possibly being from it. It seems that the Canberra crashed somewhere south of Whale Point and north of Lively Island, because some wreckage washed up at the former location over the years. Whether or not some ended up on Lively Island seems unlikely to me. I spoke with a local whose Dad lived on Lively for many years after my trip down to the Falklands last October. He said there had been some aircraft wreckage there from the Dagger C-433 piloted by Jose Ardiles but knew nothing of any Puma or Canberra pieces.

I hope eventually both the fate of the AE-505 and B-108 wrecks can be resolved.
