Not sure if this has been here already, I wonder if the money is available to recover it, as the RAFM hopes?

Interesting

Rcovery would be difficult I thnk, but it does show how you can be never sure what's out there

Thanks Trev

Your so right Garry, I was thinking it was in sands like some sort of dunes. And come to find out it's on a sea floor.

Thanks for the geography lesson Trev.
It. sounds to me like MoD is set on having it. Either by way of pulling it up, or getting it back through ebay.

Anyone know what happened to that P38 that was found under similar circumstances a while ago?

Still there in it's "secret" place, just beyond the low tide mark by the life boat station, opposite the old jetty. If you see the lighthouse you've gone too far.

Interesting read that. Will be interesting to see if they can raise it and preserve it.
