For over eight decades RAF fighter pilot Squadron Leader George Morley Fidler has lain buried in the fields of France, strapped to his seat in the cockpit of his wrecked Hurricane, lost but not forgotten. He was shot down by a Luftwaffe Messerschmitt Bf 109 86 years ago this month, on 19th May 1940, during the Battle of France.
