That is cool!

"The difficult part is to keep such a dramatic discovery secret. Looting of historic wrecks, aircraft or ships, is a major problem, in Britain as it is worldwide," Gillespie said.
Not really a secret anymore..

Very cool! Imagine that just turning up on your doorstep.

Wouldn't it be nice if anyone of the planes from Flight 19 were to show up just like that.

Saw that on TV this morning.
If you were walking the beach before anyone know about it and you discovered it with a metal detector, could you claim it as you could a coin? Finders Keepers.
