It was a surprise, really, to be honest with you.

You spot something and you think, oh, that's a man-made object.

It's something that's been, you know, it's man-made.

It's quite distinctive.

Hard to explain.

So for one hour, I measured it, and sure enough, it was 39 feet or 12 meters long.

And strange, just strange, surely not.

So I didn't really do much of it and left it.

I actually left it for a day or two.

and then went back to it, out of curiosity, and then went back to it.

And I thought, if that is a plane, wreckage-wise, there should be some other parts there, surely.

And sure enough, 110 feet to the west was a half-exposed, what I believe is a radial engine, and a wheel, half-exposed wheel as well, which coincidentally fits with the actual aircraft type of the Electra, as Amelia said.

In between the two is what I believe is part of the exhaust section, where the aeroplanes come in to land, a false landing on the reef.

The engines possibly come off after that would be the exhaust.

So the sequence of these objects fits with what pretty much an old-fashioned stereotype aircraft would be.

So, yeah, it was an interesting moment at the time.

Yeah, absolutely.

It's tricky, isn't it?

Because you sit there and you think someone must know about that.

Surely someone's seen that.
