Right every body,
Sue Raftree has just phoned me, I am about to e-mail her all of the info. She cannot access the website as MOD computers won't allow it. She will check out all the info and run with it from there. I'm sure this will possibly be the biggest email she ever had, lol. Now according to Sue, when they excavated the plane they only found three sets of remains so I am going to ask in the e-mail if she can let us know which ones. I am also going to contact the lady at the BBC and see if they are going to follow it up as well. I have to say though, Well done everyone. I feel so proud of all of you, I really wasn't sure if Rootschatters could pull this one off but you did.
Sarah.

Very well done to you all, I hope the BBC take this up and you and Rootschat get the recognition you deserve for being so successful, we're all proud of you all.
These brave men will now rest in peace thanks to your efforts. A wonderful job!
Mary

I'll second that Mary,
Shows what can be acheived when many mind work, with the assistance of modern technology (and Sarah & Trystan), together.
I hope the families are contacted, Rootchat gets recognition and The Men Rest in Peace.
Well done to all of you
Wendi

Hi
Had an email today replying to one the messages I posted on Ancestry's boards regarding Leonard Moss (the New Zealander) -
"William Johnson MOSS died in 1958 - his obituary stated that he was survived by his wife, son Harry (of Marton) and daughter Mavis JEFFERSON (of Marton), and 6 grandchildren. His son Len was posted missing with the RNZAF in WWII.
I'll see if I can find a grandchild ...."
 Good innit?
As we weren't able to trace any descendants of Leonard's from his marriage here, would it be too late to send any info we get about the New Zealand family on to the RAF?

I take it that means we don't know what finally happened.
