Ever Ready - Archaeologists stunned after WW2 battery recovered from under the Solent still works.
Maritime historians who have recovered the wreck of a rare wartime aircraft that has spent 76 years under water were stunned to find its battery still works.
The Fairey Barracuda sea plane was found by accident during a seabed survey of the Solent ahead of the laying of an underwater electricity cable.
The Royal Navy torpedo bomber ditched in the sea moments after taking off from HMS Daedelus at Lee-on-the-Solent, Hants, for a test flight in 1943.
