Regia Aeronautica in the drink?

Two really rare Royal Italian Air Force birds found in the Mediterranean. Would be fantastic if they can be recovered and displayed.

Dimitris Galon, Historical Researcher wrote:“The Savoia – Marchetti SM 79 is for all those involved with historic shipwrecks in Greece, a major benchmark.

The particular reason that makes it so important is the fact that it is the first Italian aircraft of World War II which was located in the Greek territory.

I hope and pray this finding remain so for many more years, until the final absorption of the natural environment.”

Sure. :roll:
Meanwhile, I'll hope and pray both planes can be recovered.
