    What was the result of this excavation - were any bodies or other items of interest recovered?

    I read an article in the newspaper yesterday that there weren't any bodies found during the excavation. The CWGC has made clear that the unknown grave at Zelhem cemetery won't be investigated.

    I'd heard that despite extensive and deep excavations very little of the aircraft was found suggesting that it had already been excavated at some time previously
