WWII plane missing in Northern Greece discovered after 70 years

·

A plane missing since World War Two has been found in Drama, Northern Greece after 70 years.

The plane was spotted by a group of three individuals who started to search for the missing aircraft after hearing stories about it.

According to ERT, the final search effort began in mid-June and the aircraft was located in a ravine after 12 hours. It was surrounded by dense forest and the fuselage was in relatively good condition.

The Greek army is expected to collect small pieces of the wreckage to conduct tests on the cause of the crash.

Any talks about the prospect of turning the area into a tourist attraction will most likely be ruled out as it is the only virgin forest in Greece.
