Chronology

A6M3 Zero moved near the beach on Ballale Island
During December 2005, this Zero was moved by Craig Turner / Solomon Island Museum Project during an attempted salvage from Ballale. The salvage was haulted by opposition from locals, until he returned in November 2007 and continued the salvage with a 'buyer' from the United Kingdom.
