Here is a pic of the best-condition Hampden after being brought from Russia... George Shephard was first re-united with his Hampden on 29 Feb 1992, within a few weeks of it arriving in the UK and being 'assembled' at Hatch, Bedfordshire.
A gathering and lunch was organised for him, the son and daughter of the pilot who survived, and the son of the Wop/AG who was killed in the crash. An historic and quite moving meeting.
