With all this talk of the South China Sea and Spratly Islands, maybe we (the UK) could also claim some form of 'ownership'; a Shackleton of 205 Sqn crashed on/near Sin Cowe Island on December 9, 1958, and some of the crew were buried there. The island was quite deserted in those days. Until the pull out from FEAF we used to regularly patrol over and around them - I like to think keeping the status quo.
