Amelia found? but not by the usual suspects!

Proximity to the search area perhaps?

Maybe have a look at the link, makes more sense than anything one will see in the media.

Looked at an atlas lately?

Why? Is Australia no longer where Australians originate? That small island off the West coast of NZ?

Be more in line for one of the USAF retrieval teams.Or what ever they are called today as JPAC was disbanded in 2015.
I know there has been a lot of work getting WW1 MIA,s found.

“I stopped reading when it mentioned the story came out of Australia. “

It’s been well discussed here in the past – pages and pages.

I’m almost sure I read this story a couple of years ago. Or was that another couple of Aussie soldiers who found the wreckage of a polished twin aircraft in the jungle?

I stopped reading when it mentioned the story came out of Australia.

The full resume from page 1.

Makes for some very interesting reading.

Unless the parts tag or something with serials pans out, I’d still be a bit skeptical.
I just don’t trust non-aviation people’s recognition skills.

Not saying it didn’t happen or the soldiers are lying, just that there were a lot of recognition errors in the war, most by people who had training. This could be one of them.

Makes more sense than most.
