Thanks to all who have contibuted so far for your comments. To add to a couple of the points:
I totally agree if someone is thinking of these men and women then they will never be forgotton. I have been doing my family history for nigh on 20 years and it has always been my aim that non of my ancestors be forgotten. So with people like the members of this and many other forums " Long shall they live".
It makes alot of sense that if all 7 crew had been found, the grave may have named them, this is a point i had not considered and is worth bearing in mind.
my German contact is in the process of rechecking his notes and checking out official records/witnesses. As i stated it may be that the other 3 have been lost without trace or are still in the aircraft. I can imaging how far an aircraft can bury itself falling from 15,000ft.
but my point still remains that i see no reason why the original burial place is a state secret.
Nick
