Body of second world war airman found in glacier
Saturday 22nd October 2005,
The body was flown to a laboratory in California still packed in ice. It was found by climbers last weekend. As the body thaws forensic pathologists are building a picture of a fair-haired man in an army uniform who was wearing his military parachute when he perished.
Military investigators believe he may have been part of the crew of a navigational training plane that crashed in November 1942.
