Interesting though.
The wonderful thing about living in a free society is that people get to spend what they earn on whatever they like. If Paul Allan wants to invest his own money in deep sea historic wreck / war grave discovery then I say good luck to him. No doubt the arising increase in knowledge and technical expertise will add to the suite of tools that the Malaysia Airlines and the Malaysian / Australian governments and their agents can use in their own search for MH370.

It's fascinating to know that there are good examples of rare aeroplanes awaiting the day that somebody is ready to recover them responsibly. It would also be nice to know that some kind of open water policing could protect them from random pilfering but that seems to be pretty ineffective at the moment.
