: I got a reply from him last night, that the "Halifax" is i

: The aircraft appears to be mostly sunken into the bed of t

: what good means, whether thats "In a thousand pieces, but

: the Fighter types are difficult to spot, as they have been

:
: I sent him another email last night, more when he replies.
: He does confirm the Lancaster is close to the Grosser.
