The Australians recovered a Canberra crew recently and the UK g'ment has worked with the Aussies to the tune of millions to dig up WW1 vets and rebury them half a mile away. But there is a difference between being buried and remembered with respect, and left lying about the jungle and remembered with respect.

Typical MoD. If its not in the public eye and being dragged kicking and screaming to the cheque book in the harsh glare of public condemnation, it does f#ck all for those it relies on.
