The reason David Billings started thinking it could be Amelia's was from speaking to the blokes who found the wreck and asking pertinent questions like, "How high was the top of the fuselage when you stood on the wing to look inside?"
How many windows?
Was the interior painted... Yes a yellow.
Exterior painted ?... No.
The spinners were not domed which identified their older age.
Sounds like he spoke to a witness to me.
Of course there are assumptions, but we've watched enough "Truth is Stranger than Fiction shows" to realize anything's possible.
Talk to the man if you reckon he's wrong. He certainly talks a lot of sense.
