: Hi all,
:
: Last saturday we finished the recovery of Lancaster R5572
: which crashed near the tiny village of Baak in the eastern
: part of Holland.
:
: During the preliminary investigation in January a lot of i
: nteresting items were found. The recovery of last saturday
: proved that the remains of the aircraft were pretty well
: cremated judging from the large area of burnt aluminium. D
: ue to the dense soil penetration of the wreckage was limit
: ed to some 1 1/2 metres. Some interesting items were again
: found among which the thermostat of one of the engines an
: d part of the landinggear were the largest.
:
: All items will be preserved and put on display shortly in
: time for the opening of our museum at the beginning of May
