What! The recovery vessel sank?
No! You don't mean after they beached it on Dent, they decided to drag it across the channel to Hamiltion Island, then lost it?
According to an unreliable source.... Boats attempted to tow the aircraft back to Dent Island but failed and it sunk shortly after the crash.
A bit too much poetic license being used here to describe events!
According to my source who was involved in the events,
No! You don't mean after they beached it on Dent, they decided to drag it across the channel to Hamilton Island, then lost it?
is precisely what happened.
