Wellington HE727 recovery update

Posted by Cees Broere on Thu Sep 05, 2002 04:17:13 AM

Hi all,

Yesterday the recovery team of the RNethAF found the first human remains in the wreck. Identification will take about 6/12 months. The recovery was also shown yesterday-evening on Dutch national news, and smoke from the incendiary bombs was seen coming out of the soil. These are being taken care of by the bomb disposal unit.

Looks like the missing will finally be laid to rest in a proper grave.

There are also rumours that there will be new legislation that will see almost the end of recoveries like these. Nothing concrete but if this will happen it will be shameful.

Cheers

Cees
