VANCOUVER—Archaeologists and Britain's Ministry of Defence are grappling with a mystery after the body of a Royal Air Force pilot shot down in the Battle of Britain was found recently in his wrecked Spitfire, more than 1,000 kilometres from where he's supposedly buried.
But the fighter pilot's last surviving sibling, who lives in Canada, said she doesn't want his grave disturbed to find out who's really buried there.
