WW2 Japanese plane wreck near Madang, PNG, July 85.
I wonder how much of it is left now?
I just found this info thanks to Wikitravel:
There is a old WWII Japanese airfield (north coast from Madang) which is now pretty much completely covered by Jungle. There is a lot of old plane wreckage and bomb craters still scattered around the place, including a large reasonably well-preserved Mitsubishi 'Betty' Bomber.
And here's a bit more info from Pacific Wrecks.com:
The Japanese occupied the town and surrounding area on January 1, 1943. During the war, Lt. General Hatazo Adachi, commander of Japanese XVIII Army briefly had his HQ at Madang. Also the 20th and 41 Division of the Japanese Army were stationed in Madang.
There are some interesting WWII sites in Madang and along the North Coast Road and in Alexishafen. These bases were bypassed by American forces, and not invaded until much later when Australian 15 and 21 Brigades and 7th Division recaptured Madang on April 25, 1944, and Alexishafen on April 26, 1944. The coastal waters around this area of the north coast contain several shipwrecks and sunken planes.
