This today North York Moors human bones were RAF airmen killed in 1944 crash reading between the lines it appears someone dug up the wreck and hid the bodies. Is that correct?
Ha! I did know that - it just says a 72 year old was arrested and then released on conditional bail. There’s also mention of ‘memorabilia’ in outbuildings. Nothing about hiding bodies!
These chaps look like they were buried at the time perhaps not all body parts were recovered.

No shortage of newsprint about almost certainly said 72 year old. No prosecution (for bones). All is therefore speculation. I'd think 'tread carefully'.
It’s the Daily Mail, so who knows, really, but some more detail…perhaps… https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10473723/Bones-property-convicted-naked-stalker-identified-WWII-airmen.html
Was that not the subject of a TV programme where the bloke was filmed (hidden camera) with his trousers down fiddling with his meat & two veg at the woman's gate? He came across as a right wierdo.
The two chaps were buried in 1944 according to CWGC however as stated perhaps not all the body parts were recovered
