All credit to the team that found the Endurance. Astounding that they did it 100 years to the day since Shackleton passed away.

By my reckoning due to the circumstances as explained in my hypothesis on my website, I do believe Earhart and Noonan crashed into the PNG jungle around 7 pm on the 3rd July 1937

I am planning for a late June entry into the wilds provided the Covid situation remains “stable” and I can get some of what is called “funding”.  So far I am $30,000 short of the target….

A few things have happened since our last visit in 2017.  Four addendums have been added to four ‘Parts’ of the website story.  At last we found out who made the penciled writing on the map edge.  Turns out he was in exactly the right place to know all about the find of aircraft wreckage and to know of the cryptic “600H/P, S3H/1, C/N1055” and that the US Army had replied, “…not one of ours….”

I have also remembered a GPS Waypoint where I got a hit with my Metal Detector but thought at the time that it maybe was ironstone (of which there is a lot in the area).  Since reviewing the WP on a TOPO map the site fits with the Patrol Lieutenant’s drawing of the site.  Also and more importantly, a WWII Photo Recon aerial picture shows what looks like wreckage on the ground at the WP.  There are blurred shapes on the ground which give off a metallic glow.

If we get enough funding we could possibly do a dig and find C/N1055 on the 85th Anniversary of the loss.
