So, we are expected to swallow the idea, that the Rolls Royce "Roy" debris was washed ashore, onto the beach at Klein Brak South Africa (34.092 South 22.148 East) on 23rd December 2015 heavily barnacle encrusted, and 3 months later, on the 21st March 2016, it is found again, only 8 kilometres south, at Mossel Bay (34.179 South 22.140 East) almost as clean as a new part ?

Call me a skeptic, but I don't buy it.

Let's look at the facts, as we best know them at present.

FIRST FINDING
Dr Schalk Lückhoof, a retired physician from Knysna, said that:
(1) He was walking on the beach at Klein-Brak River on 23 December 2015.
(2) It was approximately 07:22 when he saw an object on the beach.

NB: (Low tide was 07:54 - see tide charts in post # 344 below)

(3) It was lying against the river bank.
(4) “I was actually busy taking photos of the fast flowing water for a photography project,” he said.
(5) “The piece attracted my attention because it was the only object on the bare/naked piece of sand.
(6) Due to the rotted/ rotten (eendmossels*), it stank, (and) I did not handle it and (by the way**) took a photo of it.
(7) “I did not recognize it for what it was and thought that it was part of an old notice/sign board.
(8) It was full of / covered with sand and mussels and just a small part of the letters was showing.
(9) “After the following high tide, I didn’t see it again and supposed that it was again washed into the sea.”

SECOND FINDING
Neels Kruger, an archeologist from Pretoria.
(1) The same item of debris IS found again on the 21st March 2016 by Neels Kruger near Mossel Bay.

Quite amazing.

So, it was first found, alone, by itself, on, or very near, a sand spit, in a fast flowing tidal estuary / river mouth, at Klein-Brak, which is itself, intermittently opened or closed to the sea.

Further question for Dr Schalk Lückhoof

Where was it - exactly ?
Was it:
(1) In the "fast flowing" river channel ? or
(2) On the sand spit ? or
(3) On the ocean beach ?

If it was in the channel or on the sand spit, was the "fast flowing water" going into the river mouth (rising tide) or flowing "out" to the sea (falling tide) ?
If it was on the ocean beach, was it north or south of the river channel ?

Since the water was flowing, how fast do you think it was,in metres per second ?
Was the channel deep ?  
Did you walk across it - either through the flowing water - or when it was still - at "the turn of the tide" ?
Since you were "on a photographic assignment", presumably you took many photos, some of which should show "precisely" where you found it.  
Where are those photos Doctor ?
Where was it - exactly - precisely ?
Have you been back since, or can you go back, and photograph precisely where you found it ?
Can you show us on Google Earth ?








Further question for Neels Kruger.

Where "exactly" at Mossel Bay did you find it ?
Did you take any "location" photos at the time ?
Have you been back since, or can you go back, and photograph precisely where you found it ?
Can you show us on Google Earth ?





There are many reasons to be sceptical.
