The article links to the the original 1946 article. A then modern Air Force transport aircraft fell victim to winds. The pilot had to land on the Gauli glacier.

The survivors, no serious injuries:ok:, were brought out by Swiss Air Force Fieseler Storchs.

A happy contrast to the recent Tante Ju tragedy.

The Norwegian glaciers should start spitting out a host of WW II wrecks soon.
