Tennant Creek
Was there a little over a week ago. Nothing apart from a cessna and a navajo both tied down were visible from out the front of the terminal/bowser area.
Not much help I guess, what have you lost?

Thanks Ops
Back in Sept 66 an Adastra Hudson crashed in the circuit at TC. After the investigation, the wreckage was dumped on the aerodrome. A contact who photographed the wreckage is now speculating that it might still be there. I know it's a long shot after the passage of 36 years but if there are any parts remaining they could assist with the restoration of another of the breed.
Cheers

If my very vague memory is correct, the pilot was making a circling approach when he may have suffered a recurring bout of malaria that disabled him to the point of losing control.
Thought it was to the south of the field.
I know that if you peruse the old safety digests of the late 60s', there is a report in one of them.
