The Swamp Ghost

Bendix Turret
The two 50 caliber machine guns in the lower Bendix turret remained at the wreck, submerged under swamp water. When the wreck was salvaged in early May 2006, these two weapons were recovered and removed. Shipped to Lae, they were seized by PNG Police. Their future fate is or current location is unknown. Also, it is likely these weapons were exported inside the container with the bomber during January 27, 2010 aboard Tasman Pathfinder to the United States.
