Corsica P-51B recovered?

[Django]

Reading about this P-51B on the Genoseo thread and I didn't want to sidetrack the thread too much... was it ever recovered or is it still underwater? I can't read French, but it looks like the water isn't that deep by the gear they are using. If not, is anyone planning on going after it?

This is amazing, in researching Mr Taylor I found the following (they found his crashed P-51B in Dec 2006!!!):

In December 2006, the wreck of a Mustang P-51 B was discovered underwater near the town of Ajaccio, Corsica, by the archaeological diving team of ARASM.
Many hours of research were required to learn the origin and identification of the plane. In our investigations we learned that the pilot not only survived the crash, but is alive and well today in his hometown of Blasdell, N.Y.


A unit of legend
Our WZ-I belonged to one of the most famous US units in the war. Indeed, the 31st FG was the first unit to reach England and to get a victory against the Luftwaffe. They would later move on to become the first American fighter Group to reach Algeria, Tunisia, Malta, and Italy. They were also the first group to be fitted with the P-51 in the MTO (Mediterranean Theatre of Operations) in April of 1944. They would finish the war with the largest number of victories in the MTO with a total of 571 and with 33 of its pilots becoming ‘Aces’. As a bloody counterpart, the group lost 107 of his members. The 31st FG motto was "Return with Honor".
