The fact that the parachute canopy (if complete) is near the aircraft suggests to me that the pilot is quite nearby. The canopy (or a section of it) is a very useful piece of survival kit, it would act as a sunshade by day and give warmth at night. From what I’ve read, is that when delirium sets in the victim often goes walkabout but usually doesn’t get far. Let’s hope he’s found soon. Questions, if it is the Flt Sgt speculated he must have transmitted some info about his plotted course to give one source the statement “wrong course set”, as appeared in an early post. Any one any idea what effect the U/c locked down would have on engine cooling and subsequent range and speed.
