Re: P47 crash in a sleepy English village

It would not be unusual for only partial remains to be found and buried, thus giving the casualty a formal grave and not officially "missing". I suspect that this is the case here, although the reality might well be that the greater part of his mortal remains were/are in the aircraft. To all intents and purposes he is not MIA to the American authorities and thus, I suspect, the site would not be of of interest to their CILHI people (now called something different - I forget what!) despite what might still be at the crash site.
