You were after Lidar earlier...now cheaper? with drone..as opposed to getting an aircraft into PNG.
Have you spoken with Diodrone p/l at all.?.
Thanks, will consider drone although Lithium Batts could be a problem...

Yes the virus looks like it will stop us this year unless we are over it quickly and then depending on airlines and helicopters will be the next question.

News is that we have at last discovered "who" wrote the writing on the map edge. Re-reading the AWM files and multiple Signal Forms shows a match and it turns out that the writer was the Sergeant in the INTELLIGENCE Section of the 11th Battalion HQ Company based at TOL Plantation. He was the Stand-in "I.O." in the time frame as his Officer was away on a Course for 10 weeks. This Sergeant, not only wrote most of the Signals emanating from the11th Battalion HQ, but he was also in charge of the Intelligence Section. He was therefore in a perfecr position to read the U.S. Army response to the report of the Patrol A1 finding the wreckage. We believe the writing is a draft of what he was going to report to Captain Mott, mentioned in the writing.

An "Addendum" explaining all this together with the evidence will be up in Part 5 "Analysis" in the website in the next day or so. I have written the Addendum, it is to be posted shortly.
