I personally believe that Copping survived the crash!
Presumably he went south in the direction oasis of Koufra (Italian territory away from the front), then changed direction to fuel shortage aiming for salvation Farafra / Baharia. (in the maps of the time was well indicated the oasis of Koufra and Farafra)
This consideration comes from the fact that he flew long to exhaust the fuel (more than 2 hours), while the distance from the takeoff to the discovery of the wreck is less than 250 miles! Have not been found on the wreck equipment or maps or personal items of the pilot, this may explain an organized departure from the crash site to search salvation !
I believe that only a well-designed research in a range of 10-15 miles with the help of a camera drone can find possible remains of Copping !!
PS. Forget about the bones found, too many inaccuracies and false leads!
