I agree entirely. Isnt it bizarre that the US Govt are supporting the MOD's stance that these wrecks should not be recovered? Had they been US Servicemen the US Govt Hawaii based Recovery & Ident team would have recovered them as a matter of policy!! What seems to have been overlooked in all this is the views of the particular relatives. Has anyone sought out their feelings in this? The most important thing here are the relatives views. If Rob Rohr wants to contact me off board I may have helpful information. My attempts to contact you Rob have failed with my e-mails today not delivered.
