The Wreck of a German Bomber in the English Channel
In the English Channel laid the wreck of a German bomber that was used in the Second World War; this wreck had been submerged in the waters of the English Channel for many years. The German aircraft was a Dornier DO 17 bomber, the only example of it left on the planet.
This particular model earned the flying pencil moniker courtesy of its narrow fuselage. Its wreck was about 60 feet below the surface in the waters off the Kent coast of southeast England; this particular bomber was shot down in 1940 and has remained in a good condition since.
