Excellent thought Andy. After all, the family did give us (me) permission to do this analysis much earlier on in this sad saga.
Did they ever give the Egyptians permission to do any tests?
What happened to the bones after the Egyptian tests? I hope they are traceable.

I just heard from the Defence Attaché in Cairo that the bones discovered by the ARIDO team were found unsuitable for DNA analysis by a local medical service, and that the case is now closed and he cannot help with any more questions. So I cannot even find out how the samples were examined, nor who brought them out of the desert and when. Qattara told us last year that they had reburied them.
Seems less than reasonable to me, and I am surprised that no DNA was found suitable for analysis. I have asked if I can get samples, but no,the case is closed!

Swiss Stinson, Geneva 2009

Although I was not there for the accident to AB910 (I was there the previous day though), I remember it well, and still have a newspaper report, with photo.
Bex still is a bit short and narrow. It is tricky enough to count for “mountain” landings – at least it was when I did my Swiss PPL. You can get some idea from their webcam:

The last view shows the runway in use the day of the crash, and you can see how narrow the taxiway is.

Here’s another old kite.

I agree with your thoughts on this.
I have been in contact with the new DA in Cairo, Capt Simon Brand. I did not get very far though. He says that the aircraft, the site and the remains are the responsibility of the Egyptian government. As such, if we want to acquire a sample of the bones or look for remains near the crash site, we will need to request this through the Egyptian authorities. He assures me that they
are working alongside their Egyptian colleagues to reach a satisfactory conclusion to the discovery of the aircraft and the bones.

But if Tim Manna has solved the mystery, we shall soon know.

Here are a couple more like that.

Essendon, 1987. Hawker Demon, and Wirraway A20-395

I agree it is unlikely to be the RE2, which looks rather more modern, but it does have the rotary Wankel engine. Was there then an earlier Citroen helicopter?
I just saw this in the Telegraph online, talking of the Citroen museum:

This Aladdin’s cave, not normally open to the public, is also home to a two-seater Citroën helicopter from 1971,
