Dornier pulled from the channel




Readers may have seen that a rare World War 2 bomber was recently lifted from the English Channel and taken for restoration.

The Dornier 17 has been taken to RAF Cosford where its been sprayed with a solution to stop it decaying before it can go on display. I managed to get a good close up view of the work being done this weekend.

There are laws protecting items recovered from the sea and this is where the Receiver of Wreck steps in
