In the LIFE magazine photo archives , found a set of photos
they show a P5M-1 Marlin of VP-46 0304 sunk in what the caption sez is Quemoy strait or Quemoy harbor. Only the tail with the tailcode RC and 0304 , RC makes it VP-46 ,& Checking the BuNo list it should be BuNo 130304 ship 12 and the prop tips and escape hatchs are above water. One caption states that the aircraft was hit by chinese fire and thats all, unable to find any information as to what when and where.. the photo set is dated Aug 1958 divers are hooking the aircraft up in several photos and the aircraft is being towed in several others. example photo: http://www.gstatic.com/hostedimg/6251562abd383eba_large http://www.gstatic.com/hostedimg/9a66d75f982e50e2_large another VP-46 bird is standing by BuNo 127706, ship 5 US Navy ships attending USS Onslow AVP-48, Pollux KS-4, Columbus CA-74 , destroyers ? 26 & 16 Floating crane YD-963 trying to find any REAL info about the incident. |
