Thistlegorm 2 questions
Have dived this site and thoroughly enjoyed it.
1) Has anyone ever been briefed that some areas in the bow section are "off limits"? This is stated in the drawings in the excellent Siani Dive Guide by Alberto Siliotti. Any ideas why?

2) Where is all the cargot from the bombed holds and does anyone know what it was? Anyone seen a manifest?

I guess the smart answer to 2) is duh! it was bombed and scattered. However the holds would have been jam packed with a lot of kit and the stories etc. are that the boat was stationary and sank straight down. The Loco's got thrown a fair way but they were on the decks, the gear in the holds would have created quite a debris field.

Theories or informed opinion please.
