発射 負かす／撃墜する as the 戦う／戦い of? Britain 激怒（する）d, the German 爆撃機 disappeared beneath the murky waves never to be seen again ? or so it seemed for 70 years.

In fact, the doomed Dornier 17 has 天候d the 荒廃させるs of time and tide far better t han it did our 闘士，戦闘機 操縦するs’ machine guns.

New underwater images show the 計画（する） lying 50ft 深い in the English Channel, remarkably 井戸／弁護士席 保存するd except for 損失 to the 今後 操縦室, 観察 windows and プロペラs. Some of its undercarriage tyres are still inflated.

設立する: The 負かす／撃墜するd 航空機 sank some 50ft to the 底（に届く） of the Channel after 存在 発射 負かす／撃墜する during the 戦う／戦い of Britain and was quickly covered by 転換ing sands. High tech sonar 器具／備品 has helped to 暴露する the 計画（する）

殺人，大当り machine: A German Dornier 17 - the 計画（する） was 武装した with up to 2,000lbs of 爆弾s

軍の historians are ‘incredulous’ at the 発見 of the 計画（する） ? the most 完全にする 生き残るing example of its type ? off the Kent coast. It is now hoped it can be raised and put on 陳列する，発揮する to the public.

Yesterday Ian Thirsk, 長，率いる of collections at the RAF Museum in Hendon, north-west London, said: ‘This 航空機 is a unique aeroplane and it’s linked to an iconic event in British history, so its importance cannot be overemphasised, 国家的に and 国祭的な. It’s one of the most 重要な aeronautical finds of the century.’

About 1,700 Dornier 17s ? 愛称d ‘飛行機で行くing pencils’ because of their 狭くする fuselage ? were built, 初めは as 乗客 計画（する）s.

These 驚くべき／特命の／臨時の ざっと目を通すs show the German 爆撃機, which is more than 70 years old, in almost perfect 条件

Many Dornier 17s were scrapped after the war so finding one in this 条件 is 極端に rare. One 専門家 called it 'one of the most 重要な aeronautical finds of the century'

They were 変えるd to war 計画（する）s? 武装した with up to 2,000lbs of 爆弾s? and used extensively in the Second World War.

Hitler’s henchmen in the Luftwaffe hoped the 比較して light Dorniers would be 急速な／放蕩な enough to outrun defending 爆撃機s. 記録，記録的な／記録するs show that on August 26, 1940, this one ? number 1160 of the Germans’ 7 騎兵大隊 ? was part of a large 形式 迎撃するd at midday as it 試みる／企てるd to attack Debden and Hornchurch 離着陸場s in Essex.

RAF 闘士，戦闘機s destroyed at least six, losing three of their own 計画（する）s.

The 操縦する of stricken 1160, Willi Effmert, 24, made an 緊急 上陸 on Goodwin Sands, a ten-mile sandbank, at low tide.

Two of the 乗組員 died, while Effmert and another were 逮捕（する）d. As the tide （機の）カム in, the 難破させる sank and （機の）カム to 残り／休憩（する） on its 支援する, 徐々に becoming covered by sand.

It remained there until a fishing boat snagged its 逮捕する on the 難破 and a recreational diver went to 調査／捜査する.

実験（する）s using hi-tech sonar 器具／備品 and thermal imaging 確認するd that 転換ing sands had 暴露するd the Dornier.

Mr Thirsk said: ‘Very few Dorniers 生き残るd the war.

‘They were either 発射 負かす／撃墜する or they were scrapped. After the war the German people didn’t want to remember, so 航空機 like that were destroyed.’

The RAF Museum, which has been working with Wessex Archaeology to 調査する the 場所／位置, hopes to put the 計画（する） on show as part of a 戦う／戦い of Britain 陳列する，発揮する and is bidding for cash from 遺産 organisations to cover the costs.

Souvenir hunters and divers have been 警告するd not to take bits of the 計画（する）. They could 直面する 起訴 because the 難破させる is 省 of Defence 所有物／資産／財産.
