Someone!!!!!!!!?????????
Not neccessarily 12 actual individual aircraft, but at least twelve separate sites of crash remains ,bearing in mind that one or two of the aircraft are probably bombers/transports that have bounced from ridge to ridge with sections breaking off here and there.
At first glance it seems as though there is only one or two aircraft there, and some are difficult to see I agree, being half buried in the snow as some are, but the more you stare at the photo , the more planes pop out.....or at least they are bits in the snow that do not appear to be natural rock formations.....and if I'm not mistaken, one of them has springbok emblems on the wings!!!!!!!
oh, and don't forget the various buildings in the pic.
There may well be others there also but I can't see any more right now.
We did a family job on it, and my wife and son agreed with me.......well that's what they told me to my face anyway......however I am sure I heard them muttering in the other room about me , and saying things like ,"He's finally flipped this time" and "Shall I get the straight jacket mum"?
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Blimey my eyes hurt!!!!!!
Never mind aircraft popping out all over.....I think my eyes have now!!!!!
Of course the really serious part of all this, is that there may well be lots of un-buried human remains there also.....sadly.
Happy Hunting
