Papua hikers find 'WWII airman'

[Appleman93]

Hi all,

Just found interesting article about a airman found hanging in trees in Papua new Guinea

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/7587487.stm

Will be interesting to follow this story.

Interesting, if it's really a pilot, I hope they can identify him.

Interesting story. If you hear of updates to this, please post them. I would like to follow this one. However with so many things on my plate, I will no doubt forget to check myself.


Thanks for this one.

Hopefully the airman can be identified so the next of kin can be informed.

Intresting is that he was still "up in the trees"; it's "a bid morbide" but it is good advertisement for the manufactuer that after 65 (?) years of jungle the webbing of the harness is still holding strong !!
