A friend of mine in the U.S. spoke to the diver by phone in order to work out a deal that would see the aircraft recovered [262,163,234], with the Luftwaffe Museum involved.
An aggreement was reached that he would go back and get ' better' photos than he had on hand , unfortunately that was the last heard from him.
So either it is B.S. or he has a better offer up his sleeve.
On the positive side he does have a reputation that is good among divers and works on wrecks for museums [ Galleons etc.] , so I don't see why he would make something like that up , and secondly the particular 262 mentioned did disappear from an airfield in the Rechlin area immeadiately after the cessation of hostilities in 1945. Only time will tell I guess.
