Plans to raise a Halifax II

Plans to raise a Halifax II,

From an article in FlyPast (June 07, page 20 ).
Thanks to Roger Soupart
It is reported from Germany that there may be plans to raise the wreckage of HP Halifax II, BB214 of 103 Squadronfrom a lake.
There is also a P47 in the same lake.

From BCL 1942, page 198.
Three of 214's crew became POW's while of the others two are buried in Rheinberg War Cemetery and two , Sgt, J. W. Platt and F/S. J.J. Carey RCAF are Commemorated on the Runnymede Memorial.

Does this mean that both Platt and Carey could both still be in 214 ?
And if so should the 'plane be allowed to be disturbed ?

Alex
