Reference the 'missing' fuselage - when I first read about this incident many years ago, it was said then that the bedouins had stripped the aircraft, and there was basically nothing remaining.
Judging by what was discovered when they excavated the starboard wing and found only the engines and landing gear, I would hazard a guess that the sand and wind had eroded away all aluminium parts that were not substantial - If a scavenger had cut away the skin himself, he would not have been able to walk off with big lumps like frames and spars. There seemed to be quite a bit of discoloured sand about, which I reckon is all that was left of the alloy. I'm sure that the bedouins did take all that they could remove with their bare hands, but after 48 years in the desert I can't imagine there would be any ali remaining.
Good twist at the end about the baby!
