There is a wreck of a Betty bomber right off the end of the Eten Island runway in 15 metres of water. The plane is located at GPS Reading of N7° 21, 6.6" E151° 52' 42.1" using WGS84 as the datum. This will put you on a mooring which is right on the wreck.
The plane is about 300 to 400 metres from the island. The plane appears to have crashed on take off, possibly from engine failure or during a very aborted landing, possibly running out of fuel. I came to this conclusion because of the following reasons:
The plane's engines are located about 75 metres closer to the island than the body and wings of the aircraft proving that the plane was travelling away from the runway.
Being heaviest, the engines fell off as soon as the plane hit the water and the plane kept on going forward.
The plane dug in by the starboard wing and spun to the right and ended up facing back towards the engines (this is confirmed by the engines being on the opposite side of the plane now to where they should be and the starboard wing having now broken off at the tip).
The propeller blades are not bent back at the ends proving that the engines were not running when the plane hit the water (when a plane hits the water with its engines running, the very tips of the props are bent backwards by the force of the water).
