CVR/FDR recovery.
Guys, pardon the intrusion; not my usual stamping ground, but I have a question.
In Australia close to four years ago a Westwind ditched (lack of fuel) a few kilometres off a remote island in the Pacific. The aircraft was broken but, the rear fuselage section appears (to lay eyes) to be relatively intact. The aircraft pretty much ditched, split and sank in 'about' 45 meters of relatively warm water.
The 'authorities' for various reasons declined to retrieve the CVR/FDR. I have done as much research as I can but, I'm stuck. If the CVR/FDR are now recovered, would the data be recoverable and viable??.
