Years ago a group of us tried to reach the crash site of the Lincoln that was lost on a mercy dash to Brisbane. Crook weather and bad navigation led to it smacking into mountains. Our navigation was no better; we climbed the wrong damned mountain.
Climbed it several times. Fly over it often, its a fairly easy climb, still a fair bit there as well. Heres a did you know about that aircraft.. My father dispatched it. Has a few stories to tell about the crew and the mission. Did you know the difference between where the crash sight is and their intended flight path was exactly the magnetic variation at the time? Dad crewed on Lincolns as well as being a maintainer and safety equipment worker, loved them. Wish i could hear one at take off power. Have attached a copy of a photo I took a few months ago. Wreckage is in the area circled.
