Recovering Wrecks

I am curious as to the legality of recovering wrecks for restoration. That is: who still owns them, if anybody and how would you go about getting permission to remove them for restoration. I'm not talking about souvenier hunters or the such like but genuine restorers. It seems as though we have a huge amount of history just rusting away when we could look at them, even if not in full flying ability, somewhere such as the War Memorial.

I'm not about to go out and grab these by myself (would if i had the money tho' ) and I know that the cost would be enormous, but like i said - what is the law behind acts like this?

Cheers all

Twin
