Good God, if an aviator doesn't know exactly where he crashed, how did he find his way to airstrips and back?
That's an amazing story of survival. However, I note it doesn't relate the ground navigation style that Max used. Did he just follow creek lines downstream?
Was the Auster recovered? If so, how was that done in such rugged and remote terrain?
If it's still there, surely some magnetic-anomaly equipment would pick up its location?
