Some from Biggin 1968
Try Google Images. French, crashed in Belgium, during WWI, 1915.
There I was in the middle of Brussels in 1959, when suddenly:
But we have so far not been able to find that the “second” set of bones was ever tested. Maybe they were, maybe not. No one can say, or at least no one IS saying.
At least the MOD have seen the times article:

Bruce: IF they are too old to test. That is the question.
There have been so many red herrings in this sad story already. First the bones were 400 years old, then they did not yield DNA (until the story appeared that they were different bones), now we cannot even find WHERE this second set was tested, by whom or how. Those are important factors to consider.
The bones are not irrelevant (either set, if there are two). They are part of the absurdly complicated story. We are trying to “grease the wheels”, but so far are getting nowhere.
Bruce: ARIDO know where the original bones are: they were apparently required to leave them where they found them by the “Egyptian authorities”, although I have no idea who this was, nor why.
Yes, I wish we could recover the bones and get them tested.
But what are the “new” bones, and where did they come from? We just do not know.
Here is an account of the search for the “original” bones
That’s right Mark. Some 8 km south. The team described how they reckoned they should try southward, and they spotted a piece of (apparently) parachute, near which were the bones.
Mark: It is my understanding that the Italian team are the only ones to know where the “original” bones are. When I asked of the MOD where the second set came from, they claimed not to know. The Italians do not seem to know either.
Andy: your post 445 got duplicated!
I was a bit surprised to read my quotes in the Daily Mail piece. True, I find the story about the bones being unusable hard to believe but 60 million year old dinosaurs in Oman? Where did that come from? Not me. They died out 65 million years ago, and not in Oman at that.
They are cheeky to put quotation marks, as if they were my words.
And I don’t think the aircraft is in a “crater”.
So, an autogiro at one of the Paris salons, taken in front of the Soviet stand? Not this one:

but it’s a nice film!
You call that shiny?

PS:how can I post thumbnails since the “new” posting format?
One of the TsAGI series? 2-EA?
No, just thinking.
How about Gibraltar?
