A yes, the Lightning, so feared by the Luftwaffe that they called it the "Fork Tailed Devil".

Ugh. Though this is pretty amazing, it made me think of what could potentially show up one day on the beaches of Thailand etc. I think a lot of things (and people) got buried during the tzunami and may one day resurface during a storm or something. Not a nice thought. Maybe there is even a skeleton inside that plane or something. Ugh.
