Love how the metal is still in great shiny condition after all those years.

Just an amazing shot and story.. Would love to see others like this!

Wow, fantastic "aviation concedes to nature" shot.

Crashed when I wasn't born! Nice!

Incredible scenery!

Nice retirement.

Thanks for the outstanding aerial view. Many WWII abandoned airframes in New Guinea that looked beyond hope have also been rescued and restored. Although not airworthy, this rare one is worth saving to be displayed in a museum.

Magnificent, poignant, this Classic derelict for over 50 years

Just googled that lake and I must say its in the middle of nowhere!Great effort for capturing it Jason!

You can drive a boat straight into fuselage ^_^

Cool picture. After more than 50 years, still looking repairable. It looks as if it wants to eat all fish in the lake.

You could use it as a boat house.

Looks like a great place to hide in a boat with your girlfriend! (wink, wink)

Most unusual sight!

Wow great picture!!! I agree with our American friend...what a cool place to take your girlfriend too in a boat!!!!! Woot woot!!!

At first sight I thought this was a highly original "Boat House"!. Still in amazing condition after all this time. Pity no one has put together a rescue plan for this rare bird, or have they?. Big B.

How many litres of water has it taken throughout all these years with that open mouth...Incredible photo.

Poor plane....

Bristol-built, so built to last, even half-submerged!

... and in 500 years the archeologists will wonder what a fine machine this was...

Wait a second, passenger 57 is still strapped in.
