Likely the B-24 had a decent supply of water on board. And of course, time of year would also be a factor. The LBG went down in April, who knows when the spitfire? went down.

Thanks for the link though, the LBG is a fascinating story. Reminds me of the movie, “flight of the phoenix.” I wonder if the LBG story was the inspiration for the 1964 novel on which the movie was based.

It did. It was the rarest water in the world as it had NO radioactive fallout in it.

The finders made coffee with it.

Lookup a movie called "Sole Survivor" with Richard Basehart (Admiral Nelson from "Beneath the Sea")
