Other way round; the Condor was the civilian version, surely?

Seems as if ithe maritime patrol version was initially known as the Kurier to the allies – or at least that’s what the recognition booklets say..

If it’s now that accessable, I would humbly suggest that it needs to be recovered as quickly as possible before it gets picked over. (cf the Sahara P40) I don’t mean quickly in terms of a half-ar5ed attempt to drag it out – but a more considered rcovery to minimise further damage – the dichotomy of course is that such recoveries take time to plan, finance, fabricate frames etc by which time its too late. Perhaps it just ought to be gently re-covered with sand until such time as it can be rescued.

Do TIGHAR actually have the exclusive rights to recover this – and fif so why hasn’t anything happened yet? – or could someone else step in to do it
