old bloke down the road went to a crash site in the Numinbah Valley, which connects the Gold Coast with the Tweed River Valley near Murwillumbah.
On 5 Feb 1942 a P40 out of Amberley crashed there in bad weather, killing the RAAF pilot. His name was Hunter. He is buried in a war grave at Coonabarabran.
Quite moving to hold and examine the relic the neighbour still has. Looks like a three feet section of the tailplane.
