The wreckage of an Australian military transport plane has been found in Darwin Harbour.
The plane crashed off Fannie Bay more than 60 years ago.
The RAAF C-47 Dakota [A65-115] was on a test flight in September 1946 when one of its engines caught fire.
The plane spiralled into the sea, but fortunately the pilot and all five passengers on board survived.
Some debris from the crash was salvaged, but the wreckage of the plane was not discovered in Darwin Harbour until late last year.
Local tour operator Shaun Uden dived around the site in October and found the plane virtually intact, lying on the bottom of the sea, just off East Point.
He has now nominated the site for a heritage listing.
