Even if the bodies are recovered, don't be suprised if there is no help from the MOD regarding idenification.

If you read the book 619 the forgotten Squadron, it outlines the problem encountered with the MOD in the 70's.

I'll admit, I have a vested interest in that case, my father was the RAFP SNCO who went to site, and I was off school and went with him. We found the remains of 2 bodies, which the MOD refused to assist in identifying, and eventually had buried in the graves of Unknown Airmen. The MOD's attitude in that case stunk.
