Re: Kittyhawk Found in Sahara

Some caution needs to be exercised until these have been confirmed as human.

The artefacts found with the reported remains contain nothing RAF-specific or aviator related, apart from the oddly positioned parachute part and with the remainder of the 'chute being with the P40 a long distance away.

The copper disc seems to be from a 127lb box of some kind of cupro-related ore and, again, hard to associate this with the P40 or its pilot.

Time will tell, but it would be wrong to jump to conclusions at this stage.

Today is the 70th anniversary of the pilot's sad demise. RIP.
