So where should our priorities lie 80 years on from the days when the skies above the Goodwin Sands were thick with aircraft fighting to the death? They had been together through the grinding Battle of France, during which their squadron lost more men than any other. 'The Goodwin Sands hold the remains of around 100 aircrew who died during the Battle of Britain,' says Jo Thomson, a leading member of the Goodwin Sands SOS campaign. This, though, is at odds with its own 2019 report rejecting the possibility of wind turbines on the Goodwin Sands. The discovery of the Dornier, it states, reinforces this fact and 'demonstrates the archaeological potential of the Goodwin Sands.'
