Thanks for that, I hadn't seen that footage before. It looks to be the A-20 covered in Lonely Planet's diving guide for PNG. I'll get further details on that later today.

Here's another YouTube diving video - B-17 Black Jack:

Well, it must have been quite a long day ... lol ... Apologies for the delay.

The A-20 covered in Lonely Planet's Diving & Snorkling - Papua New Guinea book is listed as 40-176 of the 3rd Bomb Group which crashed into Bootless Bay on March 5, 1943. Further information can be found on the PWD profile:

I can't confirm whether the Lonely Planet's ID is correct or not...

It appears the video has since been removed from the URL originally posted.

No worries, Daniel. I do it all the time and usually get back to things in the following week...or longer. Too much to do!
