Diver exploring the wreck of an aircraft that turned out to be one of the very few remaining pieces of the bomber plane that was once feared throughout Europe: the legendary Stuka, the Junkers JU-88. Only 3 intact aircraft survived the centuries, they are on show in museums. Some wrecks are known, but this one, near Zirje in Croatia, found a few years ago, is one of the most fully preserved ones.
