Dornier 17: Salvaging a rare WWII plane from the seabed


Last flight of the Dornier 17 bomber, shot down over the Kent coast in 1940
Work begins on Friday to raise a unique World War II aircraft from the floor of the English Channel just off the Kent coast. The Dornier 17 aircraft is the last of its kind, and lies in 50ft of water on the Goodwin Sands. The salvage is just the start of a two-year restoration project by the RAF Museum in Hendon.
