It has been there for five years, deliberately sunk for divers to go and look at…
Typical Daily Mail story, with obvious but lazy mistakes and stupid quotes.
The very first Douglas DC-3, built in the UK, took off in 1935.

I isn’t a news story, it is in the travel section. It is a piece on a tourist destination.
The description just highlights the fact that is intact and on wheels,unlike nearly every other dive sight in the world.

I’m guessing they found some cheap pictures and made up a story from there. Not much of a story, for them anyway; for the likes of us it will generate moans about wasting an old aeroplane…
