Passengers flying into and out of the UK may be subject to increased in-depth security checks. Security in UK airports has been increased after potential terrorists believed to originate from within Syria and Yemen. With the worldwide summer holiday rush underway, passengers are urged to comply with the restrictions to curtail delays. Passengers leaving or entering the UK, USA, Middle East and Africa are more likely to experience the heightened security measures.

On September 11, 1952, the C-45 was on a routine flight from Bedford, Massachusetts to Griffis Air Force Base near Rome, New York when the left engine began failing about 40 miles southeast of Utica

The C-45 is almost totally intact. The fibreglass nose cone is missing as are the vertical stabilizers. One of the blades of the left propeller broke off and lies nearby on the bottom. Part of the windshield was broken and the left side of the body behind the wing has been torn away.

Before they were sunk into the Gulf of Mexico, the jets were gutted and attached to concrete anchors. Both jets were slowly lifted from the barge and briefly floated on top of the Gulf before they headed toward the ocean floor.

The two planes are now about 74 feet underwater and about 3 nautical miles from the M.B. Miller county pier. Divers expect fish to start coming to check it out any day.
