Geriaviator,
I remember the case. I think they identified the wreck by the serial numbers of components on one of the battered Merlins which had appeared as well. The BSAA aircraft was "Star something or other", IIRC.
EDIT: Idiot ! "Star Dust", of course ! (Senior Moment, what else ?)...D.
The old problem of the "stuffed cloud" again ! Truly: "if you'd end up safe and sound/Don't fly through cloud to reach the ground" - but in that terrain, they'd no option...D.
Chugalug,
Too true - there have been many heartwarming episodes in wars (perhaps the most famous being the soccer match across the lines at Christmas 1914), to remind us that there are still: "Good deeds in a naughty world"....D.
Cheers, Danny.
