I watched a recorded programme last night. It was Guy Martin and his interesting story of the huge engineering project to search the wreckage of a Lancaster bomber which had crashed into Lake Ijsselmeer in the Netherlands 80 years previously. 4 airmen had washed ashore but 3 had never been found.
The Dutch Government funded the £1.5m project and the entire process was fascinating and emotional, helping the families of the 3 lost airmen find some peace for their loved ones.
Well worth a watch.

I watched it when it was first shown, very interesting and amazing how they revealed the plane in the lake.

This was a moving and fascinating show. I found it so heartening that the Dutch government put so much time and money into this project.

The process, skill and commitment of the people involved and Guy's down to earth, compassionate, honest approach made it a really memorable show.
