There has been a thread on this before some where I think on this Forum, apparently it was shot down in goodwinsands off Kent on August the 26th 1940, I have an article about it in an old flypast Mag i think they are going to try and raise it. There should be more info may be at www.rafmuseum.org

Don't get your hopes up. I believe it is classified as a war grave, to not disturb the final resting place of the two crewmembers that failed to bail out.

Might be, but where not cases already reported of sport divers collecting "souveniers" off that aircraft? That is the problem I see, too many know where that plane lies, and it will never come to peace again, unless raised, and the unfortunate inside properly buried.

Plans are to conserve the plane and not restore it to original condiction, They say it would end up being just a replica if they fully restored it.

Its a museum piece and needs to be saved before treasure hunters pick it to pieces.
