I watched an old video once called "some of our airmen are no longer missing" or something like that. It was basically about a country in Europe that dont have much land so it reclaims it from the sea. In doing this many WW2 aircraft have been recovered, airmen's bodies have also been recovered and reunited with families. I think in all cases military funerals were also given to these men.
It must be a sad time as mentioned. I think I would be happy though to finally know what actually happened to them and to be able to lay them to rest in proper dignified circumstances.
I have purchased Diver today and noted the article about the Flying Fortress bomber. I have not read it yet but got all excited as I would like to dive aircraft an one day. Its all to easy to forget though the brave people who went up every day not knowing if they would come back.
I guess there is a lot more WW2 aircraft out there waiting to be discovered.
Thanks for posting this Bren its made me think.
