Tony,

I still think that substantial wreckage like that should be recovered. Looking at the piccies you can see so much potential useful stuff for rebuilds, reconstructions etc.
Just look at the Wellington bits, using other parts still around another airframe can be constructed, the Martlet, etc. IIRC the Whitley wing on Glen Esk has already been recovered, perhaps Elliott can comment on that.

At least get the more substantial wreckage under cover and properly documented they will better serve as a memorial instead of lying on a remote hillsite gradually being picked clean by hillwalkers or corroding into the earth.
