A behind the scenes look at designing a museum exhibit
Some people know I’m working with Charles Hinman of the USS Bowfin Museum, and he let me know there is another Dive Detectives preview on his site, and THIS time, there are clearly recognizable clips of the Flier wreck.
I’d post it here, but I’m having trouble, so enjoy yourself here, just scroll down to the second film!
And for those who are curious, the Submarine Graveyard episode is scheduled to air in the UK and Canada, but not yet in the US. Darn it.
I’ve noticed a lot of people have found this site looking for photos or images of the Flier wreck. Those are all in the possession of the filmers, YAP Films and Mike and Warren Fletcher of Dive Detectives. The search for the Flier will be featured in a future episode of “Dive Detectives” called “Submarine Graveyard” and they recently posted their trailer for this episode, and the first glimpses of the USS Flier at rest in Balabac Straits!
There’s no news yet on when this will air, but it will definitely be exciting when it does especially since it seems they are tracking not only the Flier, but her sister the Robalo, whose grave location is still unknown and the fate of the crew is still a mystery.
On another note, I was able to meet with someone today who was able to give me wonderful insights into my main character, Al, and will require quite a bit of work, but I think will really improve the book. I’ll have to re-write a couple of scenes, that’s for sure!
And as for the exhibit, we’re still looking for funding, but hopefully, as more stuff about the Flier comes out, we may find sponsors or get interest from foundations. I’ll keep everyone posted.
