So was this site a ‘known’ war grave containing the remains of the unfortunate pilot, prior to excavation?
Also, I presume that considering the circumstances of the impact and the depth that the wreckage (especially the cockpit) penetrated the ground, no part of the pilots remains could’ve been recovered for burial in 1940?
26 years ago yesterday, since the Lockerbie disaster . . . . . . . . . . . where did all that time go so quickly?

A truly wonderful gesture by our antipodean brothers & sisters. I, as an Englishman, would just like to offer huge thank you. This coach is a most beautiful work of art. Much thought, time and skill has gone into this project. Well worth waiting for. Well done.
Scramble you are not wearing them when on the right to deceive or to bathe in their glory, but to honour the person who earned them, it should be seen as that, it is a Privilege to honour those who have served and earned them, I also think she would approve and be happy to know that a family member is so proud of her to feel that they would like to honour her in this way, I would be happy to see a family member wear mine when I pop my clogs.
Left side or right side won’t make a hap’worth of difference to the average Joe in the street who won’t recognise or appreciate that particular significance.
to me personally, medals (especially war-time medals) are awarded honours that have been earnt by the recipient, and as such should only be worn by the recipient.
I think it would be disrespectful and detract somewhat from their significance, for medals to be worn by anyone other than the intended recipient.
