Additional Information: |
There is another pontoon in the vicinity thought to be from a OS2U Kingfisher. The wreckage of the Marshall Mars is also in this general vicinity. The Mars had small pontoons below each wing that very closely resembles this pontoon. Damage is consistent with that of other portions of the Mars. This pontoon is 400m away from the nearest Mars wreckage. |
