My goodness…..I would have wished that this was not true. I too will write to my MP tonight.
I agree, this basic test should be done, it is the LEAST that could be done. I too hope that he is recovered and afforded the hero’s burial he richly deserves.
It is odd how easy it was to focus on the aircraft and the ‘richness’/tantalising thought of it as a time capsule. Mentally, some had it being restored and flying…others pictured it in an ‘as found’ setting. All seems pretty silly now…..the bigger picture was a man surviving combat, surviving a crash landing and then attempting to walk out the desert and back into combat:- sadly to fail. We REALLY do owe him more, we need to find him, we must find him and show how heroism and human sacrifice for others means more than just an exhibit in a museum. In an age when joe public worships soap ‘stars’, reality ‘stars’ and overpaid footballers, we really need to treat this real hero better.
