WOW...teriffic, yet sad. I hope the families can be found so they can put an end to their wondering about these guys.

It'll also be fascinating to watch what's done with the aircraft. Sounds to me like it is fairly well preserved.

Mudge, a Polish newspaper was quoted as saying that the team was disappointed that the aircraft was not as good shape as they hoped however the team did come across something really substantial (information of which will be released in the coming days/week)
