I am not sure if this has been reported on here before but some nice images of two P-47's, one a razor back and one bubble hood, lying on the sea bed off of Corsica.

No mention of any attempt at recovery but the report also appears on the Getty images site, virtually the same text except they have added 'Warthog' after 'Thunderbolt' which I think is the Getty reporter confusing the WW2 Thunderbolt with the modern Thunderbolt II, nicknamed the Warthog.
