Another Two of the Missing Laid to Rest

[Baldrick62]

Unusual circumstances, and great dedication on the part of the divers, though after 70+ years submerged I would think 'remains' rather than 'bodies' would be a more accurate description from the journo. In any case, it brings closure to another two families of what were 'the missing'.:salute:

'In addition to the two bodies, navy divers recovered personal effects and the aircraft’s three .30 calibre machine-guns. The air force says it is “committed” to the recovery of the Nomad aircraft itself and says planning for that operation is underway.'

Good to see a pair of brave souls being brought home. :pray:
Since it's not a particularly deep lake (18m average), it's a little surprising they weren't found before.
The crash did make the lakes' Wiki site.
Thanks for this, Baldrick.

Yes Balders.
Thanks for the information.
It is good to know that two more airmen can finally R.I.P.:salute:

For those who don't know what a "Northrop Nomad" is: http://www.canadianwings.com/Aircraft/aircraftDetail.php?NOMAD-228 . The same design also provided this unit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northrop_N-3PB .
