Scuba Forum / UK Scuba / May 2004Vobster's new dive attraction - a WHOLE plane!!!!
Visitors to Vobster Quay today got to see first hand its newest dive attraction taking its place below the surface of this 36 acre lake - a whole aircraft! Yep, other dive centres may have *bits* of an aircraft but Vobster has gone the whole hog and put the whole thing caboodle in the lake. Cut up into three sections at various depths with the shallowest section less than 8 metres from the surface, divers can explore the massive aircraft wreck inside and outside. Took my digital camera along today and snapped off a few shots of the various sections entering the water. Click on the link below to view them... http://www.bardo.co.uk/aircraft Sounds fun. Some sort of military plane by the looks of it. Shame it's so far away from me (I'm up in Durham). Maybe over the summer..

(sadly..) we'll be down for the guided tour soon then Jason! Wilbo. > Are they going to remove all the little 'trinkets' from inside, or are they > waiting for divers to do it for them? (sadly..) Hehe. Yes, I know *exactly* what you mean - I'm sure it'll be stripped bare pretty quickly unfortunately! I'm going in on Friday to do some filming around it so I'll post up a selection of video clips shortly afterwards... > we'll be down for the guided tour soon then Jason! Hehe. Definately matey! :-) Hey, I designed the wing flap controller for that bird :-) >>Sounds fun.
