Hi Elliott,
Not at the moment as we are still trying to get the local authorities off their bums to have it recovered.
The recession/ crisis doesn’t help, but then again when life is good they aren’t getting off their
Backsides too. Problem is money. If there was an European fund for these cases they would
Be recovered within days.
Six missing that are not anymore but nobody with the power to change things cares.
Pity really.

OTU units were very imporant and even participated sometimes operationally.
But they were in bomber command camoufage, the silver livery with yellow band
Was used postwar, so not appropriate if you want to highlight the enormous
Effort to train the wartime crew.
So tell me if this is a political decision……..
