"A two-year restoration project will get under way today to raise the last remaining German bomber aircraft of its kind from the bed of the English Channel.
The Dornier 17 aircraft is believed to be unique and played a key role in the battle in the skies during World War II.
The project is being overseen by the RAF Museum in Hendon.
It will begin the process of lifting the plane from the Goodwin Sands off Deal. It is believed to lie in some 50ft of water.
Peter Dye, director general of the museum, said: "It doesn't seem as if five years have passed since we first heard of an aircraft wreck on the Goodwin Sands.
"Since learning for certain that it was a German Dornier Do-17 bomber, the only remaining example of thousands built for the Luftwaffe, the RAF Museum has worked tirelessly to save the aircraft from destruction and preserve it for future generations.
"We now stand on the brink of bringing the sole surviving German bomber from the Blitz back to the very city that Hitler had once hoped to bring to its knees.""
Ignorance is bliss, bliss is happiness, I am happy...to draw your attention to the possible connectivity in the foregoing.
