Bf 109E-4 ditched off Folkstone

I've just been reading the excellent Classic Colours series Volume 2, section 3 about Battle of Britain (Phase 3). On page 239 there are two photos of Uffz. Friedrich Dilthey ditching his Bf 109E-4 off Folkstone harbour pier on 23 september 1940. Is the aircraft still there? It looks like the ditching was made so that the aircraft is in one piece...
