: I just told Mr Morski, bombaimer and only survivor of the
: crew of seven, the good news and he was delighted that "th
: eir" Lancaster had finally been found, ending a five year
: mystery. The fragmented human remains that have been found
: the past weeks will be investigated by a Dutch Army foren
: sic identification team to establish how many persons have
: been found. If not sufficient remains have been found, an
: other exedition to the wrecksite could take place later th
: is year.

: Any way these missing persons will be buried will full mil
: itary honours next to the flight engineer at the Polish ho
: norary cemetery located in Breda, the Netherlands who did
: get out of the aircraft in time together with Mr Morski bu
