The Brits are known for it.... I think Arie is right, it's either from the suez or the remains of a return journey after ww2, most of our kit in the European theatre was given to the Russians but I am unsure what happened to the Middle East stuff. There is some sort of wheeled kit in amongst the carrier pile but cannot make it out, anyone any ideas ?

Great vidio kevin, I bet the hulls are more than salvageable, the amount of stuff that was sunk etc just seems crazy!

the british ship SS Thistlegorm was sunk on october 1941 by a GERMEN bombers. - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3GpiOpklUk
there were only two carriers on bord. hte ship was sunk un the suez bay. so, this is not thae place of the Italien divers, even it is also in the red sea. i fiind it very interesting that I dont see remains of a sunken ship in the I talien movie. in any case, it looks like the botum of the red sea full of carriers. arie

They were pushed over board Arie the ship probably continued home, I have no doubt there will be the story about them somewhere.

This carrier appears to have extra armour added around the gunner and the driver .

I also noticed that armour and thought it might have been part of the wading screen !

I dont think they fitted wading screens in the ME theatre during the war... they sealed them up and bunged holes for Sicily and Italy.... they all appear to be late MK carriers from what i can see my thoughts were more along the lines of flame thrower carrier... perhaps they are suez relics, end of life...new tech coming through....conflict over...bin the waste :-(
