    if i may be so bold as to ask what may be a stupid question ….. if human remains have or are found and as andy says are with HM Coroner holding jurisdiction and thereafter with the MOD does this include remains of German aircrew or would that have to go to the German MOD ?

So sitting here in a cold Holland with nothing to do i was playing with the idea of this little lot Killing time wouldn’t this lot all be good in one place commemorating something or other ! most i believe are either or about to be airworthy ? in 2014

    ARCo have a Spitfire l & XI (unconfirmed) BHHH have a lovely desert camo Spitfire IX BBMF’s Spitfire Vb Peter Teichman has another Spitfire on its way which may fly late next year (unconfirmed)

    if you add the Hurricanes that are airworthy and or about to be next year according again to other posters Hawker Restorations have 2, maybe 3 Hurricanes on their way back into the air (unconfirmed)
    ARCO Hurricane Shuttelworths sea Hurricane North Weald Hurricane Bomber BHHH Hurricane BBMF 2 Hurricanes

    Then lastly add these 3 ….2 Gladiator’s + 1 Blenheim what a battle of Britain commemoration airshow you could have of course it’s only dreaming and whiling away a few hours ???

    Charlie, maybe they are looking into a WWI event but it is worse for those aeroplanes with windy and wet. It maybe a clash with a big London do.

    If there is any info regarding a London Event it would be good to share apparently there is something a foot regarding the spring show bank holiday and a London event for D Day but either nothing has been advertised yet or its nothing happening as i cant find anything regarding parades, flyovers etc etc would be good to know as some people need to arrange accommodation and time away ???
