Wow... Fantastic find..
However,
Knowing Egyptian Bureaucracy and the 'entrepreneur-ism' of the locals first hand, I doubt there will be a nut or bolt left of the crash site within a few weeks.

It was actually found over a month ago, by an oil exploration team somewhere in the northern part of the desert (from published photos it is clearly in limestone country). Initially it was very sensibly kept confidential, but then someone decided it is a great idea to inform the press and authorities. From what I've heared, the vultures have picked it clean within days. The published photos show the condtion of the wreck at the time of discovery.

After returning from the mission of research, were found the remains of the parachute and human bones

Anyone knows the address of family members of Copping, the pilot of the plane?
