All tradewinds are accounted for as per baaa-acro site.

So far there's nothing published to support the claims on six props etc. Will be interesting to see the pictures once published.
But I'm wondering if this is actually a C54 or some earlier four engined military transport (which happened to carry props amongst other things as cargo). A few of those are still missing.

I find it more plausible to be some rather common type as the missing rare ones are known and would've been already brought into question. All that the authorities have stated is that there seems to be "a mass that could resemble a plane", the rest of the description is from the diver.

How clear are the waters over there and is it rocky/muddy/smthn else? The plane is apparently laying at more than 45 meters deep, so there are many challenges in identifying the aircraft, never minding counting for 150+ chests that has been laying there for more than half a century.
