Also a testimony to the embarrassing "neutrality" of the Irish in the 1940s. They so hated the British, they sat out WWII -- and made good money off both the Allies and the Axis. The fact that this pilot sat out two years of WWII in an Irish prison is inexcusable.
IMHO, this was a brutal excavation. Not the careful archeological dig it should have been.
An awesome testimony to the durability of Browning's design.

+1000
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
