The rise of the remains of the aircraft from the lake
The plane discovered in Lake Loch Ness aroused great interest in numerous aviation experts and military historians, therefore It was decided to raise the remains of the aircraft from the bottom. First was an underwater survey was conducted in which divers from Heriot-Watt University of Edinburgh and British Royal fleet. As a result, it was possible to determine that the bomber really belongs to the Wellington series, and even set it up production number – 2980.

Amazing mysticism of a bomber falling into Loch Ness
Now let’s move on to the most mysterious part of this story. Wreck aircraft discovered in 1976, and finally identify Vickers Wellington with serial number 2980 succeeded only in 1979 year. Nevertheless, back in 1978, the team of submariners fell here to a depth of 70 meters with advanced electronics at that time in order to identify the aircraft, but received a clear image sunken bomber … with a ghostly human figure inside in military uniform of the times of the Second World War. Divers turned out to be so frightened by their find that they immediately rushed to climb surface.
Could it be John Fansome’s restless spirit, alarmed expedition divers? Paranormal specialists argue that this is entirely possible. The remains of a young sergeant who was an exemplary Christian, was never found, therefore, rather total, they are still somewhere under water, no one buried.

Suddenly, the sergeant looked at Peter with some empty inanimate look, turned, pointed a hand at the water and at the same moment dissolved in the air.
