Dornier 17 – lifted from the seabed on 10th June 2013

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_nKQjXORxM

After weeks of preparation dives by Seatech from the GPS Marine platform ‘Apollo’, the weather was finally in our favour for a second attempt at the lift from the seabed. Witness the successful raising of the Dornier 17 from on board the lifting platform. ‘It was like bringing up a sleeping monster from out of the sea’.

The aircraft is now on display at the RAF Museum Midlands housed in two hydration tunnels.

An elderly couple is observing a historical aircraft displayed in a museum. The aircraft is a World War II-era fighter plane with distinct markings, including a white nose, yellow underbelly, and camouflage paint. Behind the aircraft, there is an engine on display, and information plaques are placed in front of the plane for visitors to read. — Give Monthly
