Its nice to get the opinions of the aviation archaeologists on our forum,i find the level headed approach of finding the missing crews so they can receive a correct burial commendable .The question we all need to ask our selves is if that was our father,son, ect, would we find it comforting that they were back with their families and not in the machines that killed them.One question if i may what happens when the digs uncover Luftwaffe’s crew,are remains shipped home or interred in this country.

MR horowitz,its a delight to read your posts and i for one and probably not alone on this forum find it fascinating to read about your experiences,probably still strong memories even though its been many years.I had the great fortune to meet a B17 tail gunner years ago when he and his lady wife had run out of fuel on the M62,during the all too short trip to the petrol station and back i found out they were attending a commemorative Reunion.I followed their car to the service area i was working at and got them both a coffee.I sat with frank and darla for over an hour (much to the annoyance of my bosses)hay customer services and all>He recanted only small memories of his time over here.But it wasn’t until i had seen them both safely on their way that i realised what this man had gone through and seen.I got a thank you letter from frank on his return home,and would receive regular post cards from them via work until ten years ago when they suddenly stopped.
so keep posting we are all ears.

Its something to do with his great great great grandfather and a loaf of bread,shortly followed by a short boat ride. 😀

While a friend worked at marham in the early nineties two mig29s arrived for the show and the pilots duly demanded ten grand to display.How much that was actually delivered was unclear ,they then demanded fuel to which the RAF said you want fuel you pay for it. CHECKMATE!!!!!

MILDENHALL in the 80s,stood with dad on the static line,when the f104starfighters started their display ,to which someone behind us shouted look there widow makers ,a usaf in joke not appreciated by the crew of the two 104s stood by their aircaft directly in-front of us.

The time at humberside airport mid way through the show they announced that a aircraft in trouble would be landing so if every one would look to thier left they would see it coming in,to which two jaguars did what jags do best ,came in fast and low from the right I’ve never seen ten thousand or more people all jump in unison.
