and the aircraft's three .30-calibre machine guns, after Muskoka residents raised awareness about the missing plane.
Why do I get the feeling that this was more about recovering the weapons than it was about recovering the airmen?
After 70 years at the bottom of a lake, I doubt those .30 cal guns are operable or even recognizable to the average person.
RIP to those young airmen.
I think you nailed it.
Since it’s Canada I would have to agree with you .
