Re: Stirling Recovery
Very Sad Do,
Thank you for bringing it to the forum for attension
Chorley's Bomber Command Losses 1943 has the full crew listed.
One of whome was an American from New York City serving with the RCAF.
It may well be that the crew remain with their aircraft.
These days it depends on why the wreckage is being recovered.
If to recover the crew then thats one reason.
In this case the question " At who's request ?" should be asked as it seems that families had no knowledge. of the recovery.
If it is to recover parts for a rebuild of a very rare aircraft then that is a second reason .
In which case this should be halted now.(My opinion).
If to make way for so called future developement then this too should be halted now.(again my opinion).
The site should still be treated as a War Grave.
