There were a few stories in some of the newspapers around 15 years ago about a number of aircraft dumped by the poms off the coast near Bundaberg QLD. Corsairs, Hellcats, Avengers etc.. Under the lend/lease agreement the aircraft couldn't be given back so were disposed of in around 600m of water.
The story made a bit of a splash at the time but faded quickly from view.
Was there any truth to the story?
