Ian,
That depends on a matter of timing, doesn't it? There is an off-shore debris
field of World War II aircraft and parts that were scrapped in several
hundred feet of water in the late 1940s. Saltwater corrosion has taken a toll
on the aluminum and plexiglass. I would think the aircraft parts are better
suited for wildlife habitat than restoration.
But, this reminds me of a tale told by Don Tuoy, now retired from the Nevada
State Museum in Carson City. Don was on a bomber that crashed in a lake in
Texas that no one ever recovered. When he told the tale, I promised myself to
recall all the details and get in touch with the Confederal Air Force to
recover it. But, alas, I forgot all the pertinent details. Guess this is now
just another urban myth.
