Lentokoneita meren pohjaan - tarkoituksella

[Heikki Sten 1]

Aika kiva sukelluskohde. Itse en sukella mutta voin kuvitella että tämä on kiinnostava kohde.

A project to sink ten decommissioned Thai military aircraft in the sea off the west coast of Phuket has been postponed until later this year because of rough weather. Four Douglas C-47 Skytrain military transport aircraft and six Sikorsky S-58T helicopters are to be sunk about a kilometer off Bang Tao Beach, creating the largest artificial reef in Thailand.

 

The disassembled aircraft arrived in Phuket on April 20 after a long journey by road from Lopburi Province, where they had been stored at a military base. They have since been reassembled and will be kept at Layan Beach until a new date for dropping them in the sea has been set, probably in November.

 

The four-million-baht project, financed by the Cherng Talay Tambon Administration Organization, was organized by the For Sea Foundation, a Bangkok-based non-governmental organization, with the help of the Thai Diving Association and the Tourism Authority of Thailand."
