Came across this picture and description whilst browsing, and thought i'd 'nick' it for you all here:
It shows a Scout AH Mk1 of 663 Sqn Army Air Corps, hovering over the wreck of a Vought Corsair that was spotted in the mud in Lough Foyle offshore near what used to be RNAS Eglington. It is described as a Corsair II, JT693 ‘R’, 1843 NAS RNAS Eglinton. Suffered an engine fire and force landing on mudflats on 9/10/44, the pilot Sub Lt CH Schwenger RCN, was uninjured.
