WW2 USA plane found from Balaton lake in Hungary
« on: June 19, 2002, 06:37:32 AM »
I just get message below:

"They found in Balaton lake, Hungary following:
P38-Lightning 2 engine , american airplane. It belonged to Mediterranean Allied Strategic Air Force.
They will take it out from Balaton in Sept, after tourist season, it is totally in mud, and 4 meters water is above. The old people remember so, that the pilot was saved, but the other guys, who are shooting are still there dead.

Itīs in hungarian, fully, no pics. The place where they found it, is top secret, they want to avoid amatoer divers go there and put it to pieces."

Maybe old people remember wrongly or plane is not P38...

I send more info later
