Underwater Fiat BR20, just wondering

Hi all,

On Mikaels site there are two photographs of the only intact Fiat BR20 twin-engined bomber sitting in 50 metres of water near Italy's coast. There are currently no plans to raise it.

As there is no other substantial airframe extant, why hasn't this airframe been recovered already? Strange considering the fact that the wreck of a Reggiana R2002 was brought up several years ago and is under restoration.

This Fiat Bomber must be a very important gap to fill if you ask me. Gregory, do you have any further info on this one?

Cheers

Cees
