Nazi Jet Bomber Found off England - Turbo Jet? Who woulda thunk?
2010-09-03

The plane, known as a Flying Pencil, was blasted out of the sky during Nazi attacks on Britain in August 1940. The Royal Air Force Museum plans to raise it from the water next year and put it on display in London.

It said the plane was in "remarkable" condition. Museum director Air Vice-Marshal Peter Dye added: "It is a unique survivor from the Battle of Britain."

Only it didn't actually survive, did it? It's been dead for 70 years and all they're going to exhibit will be the corpse.
