Off the coast of Antalya, this Savoia-Marchetti SM79 Sparviero was found after it ditched at sea during World War II. Still remarkably conserved and complete, the aircraft was lifted from the seabed and brought to the Antalya Aquarium in 2012, where it can be found nowadays in one of the large underwater bassins, guarded by sharks...
