Thank you John for the info. My mother was dating Rob at the time of his death. It wasn't for many years that I finally saw images in recent books and accounts of that day and pictures of the crash site many year later. Thanks to all for all you did, heroic effort to find it and brings closure to those who knew and loved him.
