Aircraft engine

On behalf of Birgit Sorensen, The Metals Section, The Conservation
Department at The Danish National Museum, I am forwarding this
question:

    The National Museum, Dept. of Conservation has been asked to
    conserve an aircraft engine, presumably from a Spitfire that was
    shut down during the second world war. The engine has to be
    removed from the sea bed due to a bridge construction work. We
    have no experience at all with water logged aircraft engines and
    all pieces of advice will be highly appreciated.
