Dornier 17 off Kent Coast

Not a war grave.  The crew that died were buried in England.  Two KIA and two POW.   It is not going to be restored, but conserved as is.  To restore it, would basically mean losing most of the original airframe, which would kind of defeat the purpose of the recovery.

This was first reported back in September 2010.  The recent articles are due to their being better sonar pictures.

So, this is the ONLY Do 17 that still around, in some kind of condition?

Yep.  Only other hope I suppose would be one to come out of Russia or maybe a Norwegian lake like some other LW birds have.  But at this point, the only other Do-17 bits are just that, bits.
