WWII plane at bottom of sea to be dug up by historians


Historians are trying to dig up a World War II plane that's buried at the bottom of the sea.
The Dornier 17 was a German bomber and 1,700 were built but only one has survived, as a wreck lying on the sea floor under the English Channel.
The plane was shot down on 26 August 1940 and made an emergency landing in the sea just off the Kent coast.
Two of the four crew members died and the pilot and one other survived to become prisoners of war.
