Title : RAF Museum to raise nazi bomber from 1940 Blitz out of English Channel
Date : May, 07, 2013
Extracts : « A British museum has begun the process of lifting the only Nazi bomber to survive the World War II »
« The Dornier Do-17 has a 60-foot wingspan and stretches about 50 feet; it's constructed of several aluminum sections. The plane is relatively light, but chloride in the ocean as well as the life teaming there have worked on it over the 70 years since it last saw sunlight. The RAF Museum is currently on site assembling a special lift to raise the plane from the sea floor, a process that will take a few hours at most, likely during the last week of May »
«“We feel that this is a unique survivor, the only German bomber from the Blitz that’s left. And it’s hugely important to British national history,” he said. »
