SOLOMON ISLANDS, PACIFIC OCEAN: A picture of a Grumman F6F 3 Hellcat carrier based fighter aircraft. THE REMNANTS of a fierce world war two battle have been captured at one hundred and eight five feet underwater. Pictures show these once powerful war machines, now lying dormant on the sea-bed. A Japanese Mitsubishi A6M Zero long ranger fighter aircraft, an America Grumman F6F 3 Hellcat and a Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress are shown in various degrees of decay with colourful coral growing out from now their rusted shells, some of which included the human remains of the tragic crewmen (not pictured). Canadian underwater photographer Christopher Hamilton (34) embarked on a diving expedition to the Solomon Islands, near Papua New Guinea to photograph these underwater relics of the Second World War, which were previously known to local people only.
