I think that's a safe bet. http://www.aviation-history.com/mitsubishi/a6m3va.jpg
Still kinda hard to tell with how torn up it is.

The flickr description is 'three-seat Japanese float plane', but the aircraft outline isn't clear enough to judge with 100% certainty. Looks more like a Aichi D or E from what I can C (eh, eh!).
Photos of submerged aircraft wrecks amaze me. To think that there are thousands of these unmarked graves in seas and oceans all over the world is chilling but fascinating.

Mount Kilimanjaro (19,341 ft)
Mount Everest Summit and Northeast Ridge (29,029 ft) glowing in the sun.

Actually by memory Everest is now considered 8850m or 29035ft.
Dependant on age or source of the information the original 8848m (29028ft) and outside range is 8852m (or about 29041ft). Hence the accepted middle ground.
Blame it on my parents, I got sent to my grandma's 2-3 weeks during Xmas holidays every year. It was in the middle of nowhere and the only decent thing to read was about a dozen Guinness Book or Records... (yes, cover to cover every year... I got to know what records changed in the end!)
Yes sad I know.
Heck maybe I do go to too many quiz evenings...

A bunch of photos of a WWI trench recently found in Eastern France that held 21 dead German soldiers.

The wing shape is all wrong to be a Zero, though, and it looks to me like the plane has an inline engine. The wing shape suggests to me a TBF Avenger, but that had a radial engine too.

F1 drivers? Sleeping on the floor and sharing beds in some hall? Looks like a fun time.
I'd say the significance is you probably wouldn't see something of the sort nowadays.
It was a drivers strike. (clockwise from top left: Villeneuve, Prost, Giacomelli, Patrese and Lauda)
Good article on it.

Nice composite but they didn't all take off at Hannover...
I see a Cessna 172 there with a N584SP registration (from the USA), Air New Zealand Link, Virgin Express, Jet Blue, Southwest, Aloha and Diamond Katana N521L from the USA. None of those would have taken off from Hannover
(just saying lol)
