Finished it - now back with Cambridgeshire libraries if anyone wants a good read!
As promised, a vague idea of the costs involved; I did a bit of adding up on costs where they were mentioned, and it came to US$ 2.9 million, PLUS restoration!!
Having said that, this included the purchase of a C-47 and a Cessna 185, which were later re-sold, but a lot of costs were not listed, not least the many thousands of volunteer hours. Of course this is divided between a lot of sponsors, not just the GES who eventually carried out the recovery. The B-17 that was found, 'Big Stoop', had been crushed by the ice and only a few bits and pieces were recovered.
The other five P-38's and presumably one more mangled B-17 remain in their icy tomb..............
With Duxford's record of bringing rare gems over for Flying Legends, maybe Glacier Girl will put in a trip to Europe someday!
