I suspect it is a case of obsession blinding him to the ethical dimension.
Article from the Independent On Sunday , 5 November 1995 here ; https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-e...d-1580601.html .
The majority of his 'whole' aircraft collection is now with Morayvia at Kinloss but the fate of the 'wreckology' collection has yet to be determined but the identifiable personal items , of which there were many , should be returned to the next of kin of the deceased .
