Typhoon Pilot's Remains Found In Holland

"The remains of a 'lost' British airman have been discovered 76 years after his plane crashed in Holland.
Flight Sergeant William Hurrell was killed when his RAF Typhoon was hit by an enemy plane over Arnhem in Holland in September 1944.
The single-seater fighter-bomber was seen to plummet into farmland near Apeldoorn, 12 miles north of Arnhem.
Locals found a crater deep in the ground caused by the impact but no sign of the pilot.
A search of the site four months after the Second World World uncovered a gold signet ring with the initials 'WH'.
F/Sgt Hurrell's name was added to the Runneymede Memorial in Surrey which is dedicated to the 20,000 Allied airmen with no known grave.
Now, seven decades on, the Dutch authorities have excavated the crash site where they believed F/Sgt Hurrell's aircraft was buried.
They have confirmed they have found human remains as well as the wreckage of the plane the 21-year-old pilot was flying.
Although the body parts are being tested for DNA at a laboratory, officials are sure they are those of F/Sgt Hurrell."
