Why?

 

[Snautzer01]

Because the relatives would appreciate it .

And it is a national program to give those men a proper grave. We do care about that. Regardless of nation.

 

[ww2restorer]

Fantastic. Give those airmen the honour they deserve and leave the aircraft as found, but preserved to forever remember.

generally from what ive seen of the Dutch recoveries they are jsut hunting for bones to bury. A lot of the airframe gets scrapped. not that much is left of the stuff these days

hunting for bones to bury

I do not get cross often at boards like this. But this is ffing to much.
First how well you know what the Netherlands have done and does to retrive the fallen? Obviously nothing at all you silly git.

Could you have known,,? Well a 3 year old with a phone an 2 minutes could have.
So are you a special child or just ignorant?

Really i a am sicked by these remarks. This country has been paying its debts by getting the dead out of the meadows forrests and seabeds.
In death there is no distiction, so all effords are made to give the dead there names back. German or Allied.

Bonehunters... go wash your mouth and read a little about this subject

Never said they were grave robbers you over reacting KNOBTWAT, i know cause Ive been on recoveries in Europe and the pacific!!! the Dutch Government is doing a great job of the recovery of bones to bury with the closer of the missing crews, my reply was to guy asking about the wreckage, YES most times it is being scrapped to prevent it being a shipping hazard in the future , once the recovery has taken place. and most times once they get it to shore its only fizzed oxidized metals anyways. Your profile says it all!! get a griptwit
