Can anyone give the story on the Million Dollar Valley ( Smith River ) Marauder recoveries? I'm more so interested in information on the aircraft that was left behind, it's condition, why it was left and so on. The reason is that I was recently shown a aerial photo, taken about six years ago, of a Marauder wreck sitting in a muskeg. Based on what little I know of the recovery and the aircraft left behind, it looks like the one left behind but the location given to me was different. Unfortunately I can't post the photo but the condition of the aircraft shows a basically complete airframe but the cockpit, control surfaces, engines and cowlings and turret are gone. There are parts strewn about including a prop sitting about 100ft infront of the aircraft.
Any info would be of help. Thanks!
