Australian Spitfire pilot's final resting place found

Mail Online reports Riddle of missing Spitfire ace shot down after D-Day is solved after his plane wreck is found 66 years on.

I have mixed feelings about whether what is a grave should have been disturbed however the recovery does bring closure.

My preliminary reasearch reveals that the Spitfire was a Mk IX, MJ789 coded FU-B.
