Re: Dig 1940

I cannot really comment with any first-hand authority as such, since I was not actually involved with the digs in question - although I was very much involved with other aspects of 'Dig 1940'.

However, I think I am right in saying that it was known that UXBs had already been dealt with at the Ju87 crash site. As to the Do17, this was a Do17P and thus not likely to have been carrying UXBs. In any event, it was clear at this site that the authorities were very much involved. The film made clear the involvement (obviously!!) of the local Mayor and also the Gendarmerie.

My only other comment is that I know John Hayes-Fisher, the production company and the BBC would have all ensured, very carefully indeed, that all relevant permissions were obtained and all relevant authorities were involved.
