Re: Who are they ?

Alex,

I will keep you posted. I found these articles which have more details.
https://www.wscountytimes.co.uk/news...ircrew-3285132

https://www.dailyadvent.com/gb/tag/a...gical-recovery

I suspect this was from one of the earlier (1974 or 1984) recovery efforts.

Re: Who are they ?

Thanks Rolland,
Interesting to find that there had been earlier recovery efforts. Wonder if a licence was issued then,and if it would still be valid today ?
I now understand that a licence has recently been issued for this search.
So all is above board.
Hope that yet another MIA will be returned home.

Alex

Re: Who are they ?

On this link (scroll down a little) there is a facebook post from July 2 related to the dig which includes 6 photos and an announcement of limited tours of the site.

The six photos here:

include a colorized photo of the crew.

Re: Who are they ?

Thank you Rolland for the update.
However it still means that the Flight Engineer Holoka, is still missing.
