A twin engine aircraft that crash landed and ended up in Lake Istakpoga.

Wow , What a nice find , do you know what type of aircraft it is? looks pritty intact

I'm checking to find out what type it is. I live just a few hundred yards from this aircraft. I know it is still there, I was told about it's approximate location just last year. First guess I would say it's either a Beechcraft or a Cessna. Almost looks like a King Air.

mission well completed!

I can confirm it is a deHavilland Dove. I guess I should have listened to my dad when I told him about it last year LOL. Without ever seeing it he told me what it was and how it got there. It was being ferried over to Miami and lost an engine. Landed in the field just north and rolled into the lake. The crew walked away.

Here's an aerial picture from 2005.
