Me 323 Gigant found

[nerdling]

Not sure if this has been posted but a Me 323 Gigant was recently discovered 200 feet down in the Mediterranean Sea. No photos yet but sounds like it is fairly intact. Wonder how hard that would be to raise.http://www.telegraph.co.uk/history/world-war-two/9541566/Massive-Luftwaffe-plane-wreck-found-off-Sardinian-coast.html

Now that is something I would love to see raised

how much could be raised, wasn't it fabric over tube frame?

Could be really intersting what's inside it!

Yeah I didn't realize that until I did a bit of research lol. Heck raise the metal frame and start from there. I was thinking the same thing about the cargo it was carrying.

What an awesome find. Would love to see one recovered. :yipee

And more importantly help some crews get back home.
