Abstract:		 This document is a report on the archaeological recording and recovery of a Mk. II Fairey Barracuda (6A_pUXO_003), located on the High Voltage Alternating Current (HVAC) cable corridor of the IFA2: Interconnexion France-Angleterre cable route. The aircraft crash site was situated directly within the proposed cable corridor for the HVAC route and therefore it constituted a significant constraint for the effective delivery of the IFA2 project. The location was such that there was no possibility to microsite the cables around it, and therefore it had to be removed for the project to continue. A licence was obtained from the Ministry of Defence (MOD) under the Protection of Military Remains Act 1986 (licence number 1878), and the methodology was approved by Historic England, with the works being covered by IFA2 existing Marine Management Organisation (MMO) licences. The work was carried out under the supervision of the Retained Archaeologist, Wessex Archaeology, by James Fisher Marine Services. Diving operations were undertaken under Marine licence L/2017/00021/2. The diving operations on the site commenced on 22 May 2019. There were 38 days of operations with four weather days. A total of 82 dives occurred, including seven dives for photogrammetry. The final day's diving, completing the post-recovery UXO survey, occurred on 26 June 2019. Despite adverse visibility, and a significant amount of overburden, the extant remains of the aircraft were successfully recovered and delivered to the Fleet Air Arm Museum (FAAM) for conservation, as part of an ongoing project to rebuild an example of a Fairey Barracuda. Approximately 60% of the aircraft was recovered.
