Tempting aint it ;-0 ? The Stepanenko guy does have some credibility I think , as he is /was involved in the raising of the German assault guns off the ship in the Black Sea ,IIRC , along with some aircraft wrecks around Murmansk , for a proposed musem in the area. The Finnish Gulf / Baltic / Ladoga scenario I saw a few years ago on a Russian site .. listing types , although they didn't mention the 'new' international shipping etc. or the Phoenix foundation . The involvement of the latter is a bit worrying , even if you discard all the other problems assosiated with salvage in that part of the world.
The Phoenix crowd have yet to prove themselves credible and as has been pointed out before their website shows wrecks of aircraft / armour poached from other sites and that have been recovered already by the likes of Jim Pearce....they are full of claims and grand ideas .. but till now have done little to prove it !
