Second World War bomber with British airman found 82 years after being shot down

A Second World War bomber, shot down by the Nazis with a British airman aboard, has been found after 82 years.

Leslie Norman Row, from Gravesend, Kent, was flying a mission over the Mediterranean when his Baltimore Bomber was attacked. The aircraft, part of the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF), crashed off the Greek island of Antikythera, with Mr Row and two comrades losing their lives.

After almost 82 years of uncertainty, divers discovered the bomber 61 metres beneath the Aegean Sea.
