The
Allied airplanes Bristol Beaufighter participated in
almost every place in the Second World War, and countless
were lost from 1939 to 1945. Outside the Greek island of
Naxos rest the remains of a Bristol Beaufighter on a depth
of 33 meter, only a few hundred meters from shore. It's
believed she belonged to RAF squadron 89 and was hit by
ground gore and shot down in 30. October 1943 during an
Anti-shipping mission against Naxos harbor. The wreck was
found by divers in 2007 and rest today southwest of the
city of Alyko on a depth of 35 meter.
