British air warden, police officer and home guard with German airman so likely. If it was an airman downed during the blitz they wouldn't have been so friendly.
For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

The Lady Lex.

Actually laid down to be a Battlecruiser

But was converted into an Aircraft Carrier to comply with the Washington Naval Treaty of 1922

All Battleship construction ceased as they were seen as the source of the arms race which incited the Great War.

Meanwhile they were obsolete and the age of the carrier was already at hand.

That Dauntless looks recoverable.
I wonder if it'd be worth it at 9800 feet down.
Seven TBD Devastators, three SBD Dauntlesses, and a single F4F Wildcat were also located farther to the west—all in a good state of preservation.
That's a lot of warbirds in one location.
