[Mark VII]

I think another 50 yards into the jungle from the tank is some aircraft wreckage.

[Mark VII]

don't know if this is a crash or more likely a dump. Someone should know what this cowling belonged to.

edit: I wonder if this is from a TBF or a TBM-1C?

[Mark VII]

I think a F4U wing.

A longer ride to the Southern part of the Island near the Ngerewal Picnic Area. The small bay to the right is called Scarlet Beach. Here we find what is called a German style bunker.

The jungle growth and the bunker's size prevented seeing all of it from the outside.
