Recently I found in the Baltic Sea some object. In the beginning I thought it's a remain of kriegsmarine raumboot, that suppose to sink in that area, as there is quite a lot of aluminium parts ( raumboots were made of aluminium). But now it seems to me that it is rather remain of some airplane rather than ship.
Look at the movie that was made on the first scuba diving to this wreck:

The quality of the move is quite bad ( I wasn't the cameraman) but anyhow something can be seen: aluminium frames,aluminium plates, and one very interesting object from 2min43sec : a rubber coated ''something'', kind of dome with the hole on its top.I was really surprised whet I touch it i found to be rubber coated material.recently I found that maybe this is the remain of the airplane, and the rubber - coated dome it is self sealing rubber coated fuel tank :

from the wreck i picked up one object - kind of electric wires support, made of isolator - german prestof, with german inscription on it :

That is why I think it can be german airplane.
