    Just saw a very short story about this on ABC news. Anyone know more details?

    Always like to dot the i’s and cross the t’s, story wrap up.

    Lost WWII aviator buried in Minnesota
    BRAINERD, Minn., March 25 (UPI) — Sixty-three years after his airplane crashed in the California mountains, aviation cadet Leo Mustonen was buried next to his parents Minnesota.

    Mustonen’s military plane crashed on Nov. 18, 1942 in the Sierra Nevada — but the 22-year-old’s body was never found.

    That is until October when a hiker came across a body preserved in ice, Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. Forensic experts in Hawaii identified the body’s DNA as Mustonen.

    On Friday, Mustonen was buried in Brainerd, Minn., while family members who never even knew him accepted his military honors and heard stories from those who did.

    Auction closed (early?), the one bid on it was removed. Worth looking at the questions asked for a laugh.

    Wonder how much it goes for, if I had the cash i’d make him an offer and fix it up in my garage and give it to Midland Air Museum or something

    So you didn’t have £640? 😀 Going, going, gone!

    Only if it is an ex KLM or MAC one (is it?)

    Sorry, it is ex-SAS, SE-BSY. It then spent the rest of its life in Africa.

    Can anyone identify the airframe in question?

    Where did the pictures come from?

    Sounds as though you are interested? 😀 The seller says the machine is in the Border Country (U.K.). Would the U.S. issue an export licence for this?

    Didn’t see anything in the list that resembles the request from PB. Wasn’t there a missing plane in Alaska/Canada supposedly with a gold cargo? Might have been a DC-4. :confused:

    Also in the same pic the road sign at the rear looks American.

    Would confirm that this is U.S. situated (D.C. Plod).

    . I took thousands of photos when I was in the RAF. How would they know if I was ‘on duty’ or ‘off duty’? :rolleyes:

    Aren’t you technically always on duty/call when in the services? 😀

    That Link takes me to a Fairy Gannet, which is of interest in it’s own right!

    Too quick on the button WB, link deleted and details substituted!

    Hi Anne, Didn’t see the article and cannot find any trace of it. Why not ask Flypast where the story came from? The below links mention KH158, so good luck with your quest. 🙂
