According to what it says they WILL recover them if they receive an official request from the relatives, so........

Perhaps it is time for a concerted effort to notify the relatives of the government's policy, I think it is a safe bet that 99% of the British people know nothing about this policy at all.

So inform the newspapers, who always love the chance to give the gov a good kicking, inform the TV news, inform the aviation magazines, inform the veterans associations, and perhaps very effective would be an information stand at airshows.....so when the BBMF come flying over as the government's official representatives of their concern for wartime aircrews, the public will be well aware that the government really doesn't give a stuff for them and their lost relatives, no matter how many Spitfires they still fly for us.

Of course I think we all knew what this government really thought of the war and it's people when Blair refused to honour the Battle of Britain at the 60th anniversary in 2000, got plenty of time and money for the Queen's bloody golden jubilee celebrations though.
