A new memorial is being planned by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission to the crew of Anson N9857, which crashed on Ben More Assynt, near Inchnadapmh, in the Scottish Highlands. The story was also announced by the BBC.
The fragile remains of a First World War aircraft have been found on the Island of Thasos, North Greece. They were initially identified as Nieuport 11 serial 3983, which was flown by Canadian F/Lt Warner Hutchins Peberdy who failed to return from a reconnaissance mission to Eastern Macedonia on 14 January 1917 and was posted missing. However subsequent examination of the wreckage suggests that it may belong to a Sopworth built aircraft and is not 3983. Athens News story.
