A bit more on KL654.

The Malaysian Army Museum, and especially Captain Jim Zuraiman, were a huge part of the effort to recover the KL654 crew remains from the deep jungle. The Museum’s Facebook page has four photos of the 2009 excavation — hinting at the harsh environment. Imagine yourselves in the boots of these men as they worked, and struggled, to find the remains in such conditions.

The Museum’s home page presents numerous KL654 photos and links:

Also, the “Photos” link on the home page will lead you to an album called “Timeline Photos” which includes the KL654 photos, such as the four I am posting now. (Credit: Malaysian Army Museum)

The closeup image of the men at work, with the aluminum pot seen clearly, includes, at center, UK policeman Clayton Ford, one of the volunteers who put his own money into this project. He made it back to Malaysia for the 18 Oct burial service.
