Wow.
Great piece of history.
I'd love to see it all during the restoration.

'Restored' is probably a bit strong. It's never going to look like a museum-perfect display aeroplane. What's left of it will salvaged and stabilised from further corrosion, much like the Halifax in the RAF Museum's collection.

Hooray for the Boulton-Paul Defiant, I say! |

Way cool indeed. Well done lads! |

Ah! The Defiant! My favourite WWII airplane. Much maligned. More sinned against than sinning! |

If the preservation of the Halifax is anything to go by, the Dornier is going to be a long time being conserved to prevent further deterioration. The Halifax after all came out of a fresh water lake as I remember back in 1973. I look forward to the day when the Dornier is available for public viewing. However being immersed in a salt water environment for so long, I just hope the structure is sound enough to withstand the stresses of being lifted despite the cradle that it will be supported in. |

It will likely be displayed like the skua at Yeovilton |

Hopefully they can do something like this:

I will be immensely surprised if there's enough of the bird left to survive getting removed from the salt water. |
