Just got an email back from Johan... superfast...

here's a link , to the press doc

http://users.telenet.be/mariehelenepetit/zep-sta/press-doc.htm

also explains what they found, and a lot of information regarding the plane, and even the burial places of the airmen aboard it...

there is also a link to a Flemish WW1 forum
unfortunately in dutch, but you can find a bunch of pictures of the plane itself, when it still flew
http://www.forumeerstewereldoorlog.nl/viewtopic.php?t=8058

Johan told me , that he's also in a group working on reconstructing the remains of a MkIV British tank.. using a Bulldozer or something...



now i'm going to read it myself, amazing stuff

EDIT
extra info on the tank thing
they are currently raising money to reconstruct a MkIV Tank , around a Bulldozer, to put it on the center square of Poelkapelle, a little village not far from Ypres..

this is a link to an english spoken forum discussing the tank cemetery, loads of old post war pictures with destroyed tanks all over the place, good pics to give you an idea of what was left of the area...
