I suspect this is the aircraft featured in the awesome Naxos video above with the beautifully clear water. Anyone get the Oct issue of Aeroplane Monthly?!

A complete and almost intact RAF Bristol Beaufighter has been discovered by divers at a depth of about 110ft in the eastern Aegean, off the island of Naxos. Its identity has not yet been ascertained, but it could be from 252 or 108 Sqn. This is just a taster - see October's Aeroplane magazine for the full story and exclusive pictures.
