The aircraft were in fact two A-26 Invaders. The programme was most interesting due to the unusual nature of the wrecks, ie they crashed from low altitude, at relatively low speed, on marshy foreshore - which due to its remoteness, had simply covered the aircraft with freshwater silt over the years. As a result, the relics were large and recognizable.
I still have a problem with the 'TimeTeam' format - having to 'beat a three-day deadline' ( Why ?
) leading to much frantic cutting with power tools and heaving with cranes, and then leaving the bulk of the wreckage un-recovered.....
One hopes that the LAIT were able to go back afterwards and do a proper job......
