I recall sighting one of those Aircobras in the shallows somewhere near Silver Plains about twenty-five years ago.
A couple of local Thursday Island identies found an Aircobra on the cape near Bamaga in the late sixties or early seventies. A ground inspection revealed the aircraft was in tact and contained a large number of live rounds. The Army made it safe with some explosive devices but damaged the aircraft.
Later in the seventies I saw one under restoration in Clermont and the suggestion was that it came from the Cape!
Many of the wrecks I had seen around the Cape and the Gulf have either disappeared into oblivion or have been recovered.
