My guest today is Lilian van Mourik. On this episode we dicuss the recovery of Stirling bomber BK716 and its seven crew members as part of the remarkable Dutch national programme for WW2 aircraft recoveries which was set up in 2019 and aims to unearth 30 aircraft over the next decade. We also discussed Dutch wartime remembrance culture, the morality of area bombing, the deprivations of the hunger winter and how the sacrifices made in WW2 are relevant today. Keep an ear out for our competition question and the chance to win a book about BK 716 and also a few beers that were brewed to commemorate the crew. All competition entries should be sent to: unconventionalsoldier@gmail.com.


Lilian's book choice on Desert Islands Dits is "Luchtmeisjes (Sky Girls)" by Ingrid van der Chijs. My choice is "Bomber" by Len Deighton.
