Hi all,
"I wonder how many would undertake such burial recoveries if all aircraft parts were, without exception, consigned to the smelter."
There would be a lot less money for the recoveries from official sources (little as it is). I suspect it would break many peoples hearts to see pieces that could be used to help other rebuilds being melted down, but I like to think that the recoveries would still happen. We owe the men in the aircraft that much; you can't just forget them.
Think about it, we on this forum are not as hypocritical as some of the authorities involved, or we wouldn't even be talking about it being a problem..
Cheers
Richard W
