Can you figure out how this plane landed on this tiny island with no airfield? - Telegraph (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/11816875/Can-you-figure-out-how-this-plane-landed-on-this-tiny-island-with-no-airfield.html)
Does anyone know the story?

Are you sure it's on the ground?
Possible low level overflight captured at the right moment?

Presumably, someone put it on a boat and transported it to this particular island from the crash site...?

It's probably a garden ornament. No spinner or prop shadow.

Fail. Shadows of wings, shadows of building corners...

Yep. Wing shadow appears offset while buildings and tanks aren't. :p

The island in the OP with the aircraft pictured is not East Wallabi Island.
I've had a look,but cannot identify the island.

Correct. But it's only 1500 meters from where the aircraft ended up in the water!
Cheers,thanks for pointing that out :ok:
