| In Search of the 1940 Mt Torbeck Air Disaster |
For
Andrew and me, a memorable expedition occurred last April.
A month before whilst assisting with the safety communications for the
Pajero Challenge, a four wheel-drive event, I noticed my map arrowed
to a 1940 WW2 aero’ crash site in a remote
rugged mountainous
section. I later made
some inquiries and
was informed that
there was indeed a
crash site with some
wreckage and that
there was supposed
to be an engine from
it still, in one of the
almost inaccessible
gullies down below
the crash site.
