Re: Mustang Pilot Information

Runnymede memorial is used to record bodies that were never recovered. They might be buried as unknowns, bodies washed up missing any ID or means of identufication. Runnymede indicates no official recovery of remains.. The person was missing.

The pilot buried in Belgium probably came down in the water and his remains were carried by the sea currents to the Belgium coast. There are many examples of remains travelling great distances before washing up.
