mangy1983 51 Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Just watched this video just now on YouTube. Its amazing that the Liberator bomber just lay there for 16 years before being found and even more amazing that they found nearly all of the crew members bodies especially as they had all walked some miles from the crash site. Has anyone seen the full documentary or even better have a link for it? cheers Callum Ps the video below does show skeletal remains so if easily offended don't watch. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRzCTIO4jgo&feature=related Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm really surprised they found 8 of the 9 bodies, l would have thought they would have been covered by tonnes of sand in the duration that they lay there. cheers Callum Quote Link to post Share on other sites

andyfr1968 772 Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 (edited) Very sad I couldn't make out the text in the diaries. Did they bail out, or go down with the plane 'cos that's a heavy crash? Looks like someone's found the plane before as some of the instruments appear to be missing from the cockpit. Interesting find, Mangy Edited June 1, 2011 by andyfr1968 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Interesting find, Mangy According to the Wikipedia entry they bailed out before the plane crashed More information can be found here, interesting reading. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lady_Be_Good_(aircraft) cheers Callum Quote Link to post Share on other sites
