“while his eldest son, Gus, was killed when his light aircraft crashed in August 1971. His body and aircraft were missing for ten weeks.”
Which confirms something my Dad told me years ago…
I seem to remember from my Dad it was in Epping Forest… But
who can provide a location I have seen Andes quoted on the internet… Andes Not True
It was a yellow Piper Cub and it was in “Thick Hamphsire woodland” at Ditcham Woods, 3 miles from A3 near Petersfield – The nose was embedded in hill side
Aircraft missing August 28th 1971 – Found by man walking dog Oct 31st 1971
wreck only seen due to Autumn leaves falling!!!
So you can have an aircafrt missing in UK for upto 10 weeks over 30 years ago…
