She is believed to have gone down around 150 miles from Howland
Island in the Pacific, considering that is around 100 miles from the
equator I would say Art is pretty much on the money.

Bermuda (or even the Bermuda triangle) are both 3000 to 4000 kM from
the equator. *The "other side of the earth" doesn't even come close to
Howland Island OR the Pacific!

How much money would you put down? *Better yet, would you fly with Art

picking.

Derek,
there are half a dozen more poles in our earth. Non ofcourse are as
strong as the ferrite pole but none pass thru the geometric center
of the earth so none can be exactly aligned on the opposite side of
the center point. These poles being made of natural diamagnetic
material
will have their lengths closest to the surface. All of course are
weak but all are weighted by the inverse square law. and aligned at
right angles to the ferrite pole ( north and south)So at certain
points on the surface of this earth all have a sweet spot for maximum
impact on a small piece of ferrite metal shimmering tho balanced on a
tiny pin when held in the hand.Don't take any notice of Richard he was
a swabby for most of his time and never got the chance to look out the
front of the ship.The bottom line is that he leaves nothing for you to
ponder on so why converse with him? Os an aside Derek the majority of
the earth's surface is covered by water which is diamagnetic. Both of
the areas that I pointed to lie in a vaste area of water. I am not
saying that compases malfunction in any way
but there are many aircrafts that have dissapeared in these areas
without trace. Makes you think doesn't it.
