: Good news is that everything recovered will be delivered a

It never ceases to amaze me how respectful the Dutch forces seem to be towards our fallen aircrews. Somehow I can't really see the MoD going to the same lengths as the Dutch Navy are in this case.

Once again Cees, many thanks for what you and your colleagues are doing. I'd like to think that there are still surviving relatives of the crew here in the UK who will be able to finally lay their loved ones to rest as a direct result of your work. Thank you.
