Summary

Magnetometer, side-scan and metal locator surveys of area around Burntisland Designated Wreck site revealed remains of this WW2 aircraft, which lies over 1km west of the designated site. The craft was almost upright and 'buried at least up to the mid-line of the fuselage'. The engine was reported to have been almost entirely corroded. A diver from the Burntisland Heritage Trust recovered a machine gun and a compass from the cockpit; both items were declared to the RoW. Previous sonar surveys of the area had been carried out by the Archaeological Diving Unit (ADU). Neither the survey area not site location are given in the ADU report; and the latter is therefore derived from the RCAHMS record of the aircraft.
