"The British military has received support from their American counterparts in the search to recover a F35B Lightning II, the Times reports. Navy sources told the broadsheet: "A number of nations have the capability to recover an aircraft from that depth........Reports suggest the jet is more than a mile below the surface. The process itself is supposedly "not rocket science"...."
Richmond's Lynx was 4km down and was successfully recovered so 1 mile is well within current capability.
