Mawson's monoplane found
If this is the first Vickers aircraft ever built you would think there would have been interest in recovering it earlier
AdelaideNow... Sir Douglas Mawson's monoplane found |
Amazing! It should be recovered and preserved as part of the history of early Antarctic exploration. What a find after all these years... :ok:

After being crunched up by moving ice over 96 years, lying in salt water and presumably constructed from fairly flimsy materials I doubt there is much left to save.:ouch:

I think most of that will polish out, tinny. :}
