Re: Is 1st Lt Stephen PASCAL still MIA ?
Hello Danny
I am living near the Florennes Air Base (2e Wing Tactique and A-78 for allies) where I am working as a NCO NBC specialist. For more than 15 years (I am 30), I investigate in WW2 aircrafts (and airmen of course) crashed in my country as a passion. I am not a WW2 collector or a treasure hunter (there are many in 'digs stories') but just passionated by the localisation and identification of wreckage (I call it 'microhistory'). I went on more than 150 crashsites and managed to dig out 8 wrecks including the very last missing German fighter pilot lost in May 1940 (Lt. Adolf von Böselager MIA on the 13 May 40) recovered and identified in September 2002. I consider myself as a link between "archives researchers" (I respect them and I know very well some of them as 'specialist') and ground researches. In fact, as you know, the critical matter in WW2 airwar are the witnesses who left us at tremendous rate. Before making digs, we need to interrogate the people who lived those events, this is part of our history.
Best regards and best luck in you researches
