Muschu Island
Wreckage of Beaufighter

There is the scattered wreckage and tell tale indicators of a high speed impact crash in the interior of the island. Although there is not much wreckage left, there are parts of the engines of a twin engine aircraft.

Of interesting note is the fact that the props are unbent and apparently undamaged, despise the violence of the crash that left no large pieces of wreckage. This fact indicates the engines on impact hit under full power, and were thus froze when they hit. The props were buried deep in the ground, and each blade was fragmented from the jolt of hitting the ground.
