Well finally the weather improved to allow them to raise the Dornier. Looking forward to seeing it restored.

waste of money! Should be spent keeping our own aircraft in the air, Lancaster's, Vulcans, Spitfires.

But as they've got it up, i'm with STEMO, fix it up, fly it over the Channel.

Then send a fully armed Spitfire after it, should prove fun  ;D

I think the Germans should bail it out, after all they've bailed out everything else that's sunk in Europe....  ;)

Enemy artefacts have as much a place in history as our own imho :-\

It's quite easy to become sentimental about aircraft such as the Lancaster and Spitfire, but without worthy adversaries, they would never have been developed...

Its going to cost an absolute fortune to do anything with that. £345,000 already spent just getting out. Whilst I agree with the comments about enemy aircraft, I would rather see the money spent on getting 'Just Jane' airborne in Lincolnshire at the heritage museum. The RAF Lanc is not going to last forever, nor is the Canadian one, and the powers that be don't seem to be interested in keeping the iconic Vulcan airworthy.
I put this in the same category as trying to get the 'Mary Rose'  seaworthy :)
