Hi guys,
Sand is a bit like ice but rather more fluid. A few years ago the remains of an Avro Lancastrian were released by a glacier in South America and I see no reason why aircraft which crashed in the desert could not have been covered up by sand dunes only to re-appear decades later. Not all the crashed aircraft during WWII were recovered so who know what might be out there yet?
I am getting old and my memory may be playing tricks but I seem to recall another post war British airliner like the Lancastrian mentioned above going down in the desert - perhaps a Handley Page Hermes? Some of the passengers survived and were recovered but the wreck was left to the Arabs and the sand - one day it might resurface
Pete

Pete I watched a documentary on that. It was indeed a Hermes that crashed in Mauritania in the early fifties. Everybody survived the crash landing, but one of the crew died later. No idea what happened to the plane though...
