Well, after over 2 weeks w/o a computer I am back. I have been meaning to load these pics.
The story....
Until 2005, this wreck was unknown. Army searched for remains, but none were found, and no one in the township remembers a crash.
It is located near Tin Can Bay in Queensland, on Army property at wide bay, known as the Wide Bay Training Area, which was bought in 1950.
I had ran into this wreck while driving LAVs in 2006, and since then I have asked many who don't know WTF I am talking about.
A couple of weeks back, I was in the area in support of a Battalion 'Milcon', and I asked this old civvy caretaker, who showed me on a map where it was.
What happened? Well it appears the plane clipped the canopy of the rain forrest, and then hit the ground. Wreckage is scattered all over the place.
When?
I would say 1940's or earlier as the vintage of the areoplane speaks for itself, and there is some rather large trees about, one tree growning near the fuselage.
I am seeking the type of aeroplane this is, but there is not much to go off of.
enjoy the pics, and any assistance would be appreciated.
