There is even a story about reuniting the tail gunner (now in his 80's) with the thermos of coffee he left behind on ditching in the Norwegian lake.
Hey Bruce, just answer me these questions three: Ultimately, will the engines start? If so, will the bird be able to be taxied? If that, what would it take to get certification for even limited flight?

Enquiring minds would like to know...
