Vulcan Bomber (Thunderball film prop)
The skeleton of the full-size Vulcan bomber mock-up built for the 1965 James Bond film Thunderball, lying in about 12–14 m of water. The covering has long rotted away; what remains resembles giant scaffolding covered in corals, sea fans and sponges, with plenty of fish. It is about a two-minute swim from the Tears of Allah, so both can be done on one dive.
