We had an email from a guy in the Pacific Ocean, looking for WWII missing aircrew and aircraft.
He had found the remains of a boat and engine and asked for my thoughts on identification etc.
Fortunately it was fairly easy, the engine is distinctive enough, but the remains of the boat are just the bare iron/steel fittings, all else has long gone.
