Under water wrecks recovered bring to mind Hurricane Z3055 recovered from 42 metres between Blue Grotto and Filfla island Malta,And Sea Fire MB293 recovered from off the coast of Malta. There also known about 19 other wrecks including a Sea Fury,A sky raider,a Liberator, a Wellington and lots of other very interesting types but they should be treated like the Hurricane and Sea Fire where wait until you have the resources to recover otherwise you are wasting your time and effort to bring it up and just dump it to rott away.

The Buerling Spitfire in the War Museum at Valletta being a prime example the official line has in the past been for this ands the Gladiator “If we give it to the museum to rebuild it will be as good as new again it needs to stay as it is”

you may agree with this you might not but look at it this way if you bring it up and then dump it down on display no matter how well meaning it aint going to look the same in a short space of time it will just fade away to nothing and be lost so it might as well have stayed on the sea bed at least it would last longer.
