I have to say that this whole episode doesn't do the Mod or indeed the preservation world any good whatsoever.Where the is somthing buried or indeed underwater the will always be a fascination in recovering it . The relics of WW2 command a value and interest to many and I am sure they will do for the foreseable future.
What countless aviation archaologist's have done over the years is to recover items and in the vast majority of cases display the items as a memorial to those lost.
Included in this activity has been the recovery of human remains - the decent burial of these if discovered has to be the prime aim. In this many families have benefitted from the knowledge that their loved ones have a decent burial and somewhere where they can pay their respects.
The fact of this particular case is that it's over for the parties concerned. What's important is that people
read the judgement rather than casting their opinion's on what they think it really means.
This forum was I believe established to promote and further interest in the warbirds and indeed men who gave their lives for their respective countries. If however
some wish that it becomes a place that they feel they can
cast their opinion's on people's character well maybe it's time they find a different forum.
