Hi Paul,

I had already seen it today and I am vaguely familiar with this aircraft. Meaning that I knew that a Defiant had crashed in the Biesbosch.

But apparently there is more behind the story. It seems that some individual had found its remains, but not only that, as well as the remains of one of its crew. According to a newspaper article, a human spine (reportedly of the gunner) had been recovered and placed on this person's mantlepeace. Very sickening indeed!!

Problem was that this story has been used by our beloved RNethAF every time they were asked what they thought of public organisations and their archaeology activities. But that is all I know about it. I assume you have the Defiant-file already checked?

I will make some inquiries over the weekend, perhaps our fellow organisations know more about this. But what I have just said is only what I have been told, so I cannot confirm the authenticitiy of this bizar story!!!!!

Keep you informed

Cheers

Cees
