The link above to a news story taking place off the southern shore of Great Britain, raising the last intact Dornier 17 from its current resting place in 50 ft of English channel to the surface.

I was surprised to learn that this is the only surviving Do. 17 in the world, and that it was in as good condition as it is (surprising because, as some of the non-British readers may not realise, the channel can be quite rough! :P)
They have a deadline to meet though, the salvage team is currently working frantically to raise it within the week before the immensely unpredictable Channel weather forces them to delay again. Best of Luck!
