legal question: ownership of a component from a WWII RAF aircraft

Good morning to our in house legal advisers,

here is a simple question :

who is the owner a component from a WWII RAF aircraft, such as an engine, a wing, etc.. that I would find somewhere in France (in a lake, in a forest, a field whatever..) ?

Do the RAF as a right to claim it ?

I have in mind that this is the case for USAF hardware, but is it the same for RAF stuff ?

is there any juridiction on similar cases for RAF machines ?

Thanks in advance for your nice answers to this boring question.

Cheers

GC

I wish the law was that any such items over 50 yrs old belong to the finder who spends effort and money to locate them instead of states who won't spend a dime to find them.

in case owner gives authorisation for dig it might go but when lots of people and police comes explosives are found than everything will be sealed off
its depending local authorities you better inform localy
