I'm with you aussie027.
I spent six hours with David Billings and he has some pretty convincing info.
More than the yanks with heresay and a skeleton.
The aircraft at Buka is likely to be a war wreck. The one in the jungle the Aussie patrol found during the war was pre-war and the only tin aeroplanes in PNG before the war were tin sheds with wings. Junkers and Ford trimotor with squarish sides of corrugated metal. The Lockheeds that operated there with Guinea Airways didn't get lost on New Britain.
