Didnt see this posted anywhere else, but a He-115 was recovered, and it looks like it is in excellent shape.

LiveLeak.com - Rare WW2 German aircraft salvaged in Norway

A guy on another forum translated it and he said it basically says this

he's talking about the various roles the plane was used in, torpedo plane, search and rescue, recce etc. He then explains how the plane got its floats ripped off and sank during landing due to pilot error. He goes on telling how they are going to disassemble the wreck into five parts and submerge them in a freshwater tank for 2-3 years to get all the salt out. If they don't the salt will crystallize and expand, causing more damage to the structure.

No problem Beau - can't be expected to spot very post on the forum, and it has slipped down the threads a bit.
It certainly is in good condition, relatively speaking, and I hope the Do17 (when it's recovered from Goodwin Sands) is as good.
