 Aircraft enthusiasts are to attempt to 
 recover a unique wartime bomber from   
 under the Sjvjrn Estuary.              
                                        
 Deep sandbanks cover the last exampte  
 of a Blenheim Mark 1 ptanj, the type   
 used on the RAF's first bombing raids  
 on Germany.                            
                                        
 The plane crash-landed in the river off
 Lzdney on a training exercise in 1940. 
                                        
 Freak tidal conditions last exposed    
 sections of it sjvjn years ago.        
                                        
 Experts believe the six feet of sand   
 covering the bomber will have kept it  
 in good condition.
