One more thing about this.

The TV news people appear to be very sympathetic to the various stories of "missing" aircrew, and I get the impression that they would also like all these heroes to be found and given decent burials at long last.
Of course the cynical view is that the local news would only be interested in the story if one of "their own" was involved in the crash.
But I do remember that they were also sympathetic to the story of the Australians in the Lanc in the Lincolnshire farmer's field story that I posted a couple of weeks back.

I generally don't read newspapers so I am not sure of the reaction from them to these lost hero stories.

But I also have the feeling that NOW could possibly be the time to make a concerted effort, with the help of the media, to put pressure on the gov and MOD to recover every last one of our missing aircrew, if that is the wishes of the next of kin of course.

Someone out there will have the neccessary information on the various aircraft wrecks that still have human remains in them, or are thought to anyway.
By giving that list to the media, and informing the families and the general public of what our "blessed" gov thinks of our lost heroes, a big stink could be created to embarrass the gov into finally doing something along the lines of the US Gov.

What do you think....please comment ?
