    Saw this on the BBC website and thought it deserved viewing.

    US military officials have identified the remains recovered from a crash site on the Hawaiian island of Oahu as a long lost World War Two aviator.

    Navy Reserve Ensign Harold P DeMoss crashed in 1945 during a training exercise near Kahuku Point.

    Due to the remoteness of the site, his remains were only found in 2016 after petitioning from Mr DeMoss' family.
