My Uncles Plane BK716 was found in Lake Markermeer and recovered. The crew never made it out and last October 2022 the crew was given a formal burial at Nigmigan. Some of the pallbearers had just been pallbearers for the queen. So their home is no longer Runnymede but the cemetary in Nigmegan. If someone could add some of this current information I would be appreciative. All the information can easily be found just by looking up BK716 including a documentary.
