Ok, so it appears, that the new and improved Military remains act is with us. Like the US Navy, the Crown asserts absolute ownership, over all wrecks, in international waters or foreign parts.

In short, even if you are recovering aircraft, from the wilds of Borneo, or the Ijsselmeer, or a certain Spitfire in a swampy lake in the back of beyond, :0) You need permission from the MOD. Failure to obtain permission, may well lead to prosecution, no matter where you are.

Anyway, the details here
