Capernwray Airplane – the movie!
 
The Hawker Siddeley (HS) 748, which weighs nine tonnes, now sits at 18m.

Capernwray Diving sinks an aeroplane! from Adam Hanlon
on Vimeo.



Underwater footage of the aircraft shows divers swimming through the gutted body of the plane and peering into the cockpit at the seats, pedals and controls that have been left in place.
The plane has a 30m wingspan and, sitting upright on its landing gear, stands 7m tall.
