One for the Future

Dundee Museum of Transport do a Time Team

On 29th July 1943 Hurricane Fighter V7725 took off from Tealing air base. The pilot at the controls was 21 year old Sgt Roland Carpenter from Birmingham a trainee at Tealing. During the flight something went wrong (It is thought he blacked out) and the Aircraft dived nose first into the ground at Caird park Killing Sgt Carpenter.

Following in the footsteps of Time Team who recovered a Spitfire in France, would it not be a great project to do the same for this Pilot and plane perhaps even solving the mystery of why the plane crashed?

We would be able to put on a Display of the Artefacts we recovered and tell Sgt Carpenters story so ensuring that his name will never be forgotten. I wonder if anyone has any thoughts.
