You're Top Poster: #2 | Have been going through some of the crashes and the research done is pretty impressive, particularly the effort taken to visit the crash sites and show where the aircraft crashed.

You're Top Poster: #3 | Hi Andy, This is where the 24 Aussies are buried. Hopefully someone might be getting Trondheim & Oslo for me. Don't forget to double click the images to enlarge further. Slide1.JPG Slide2.JPG

You're Top Poster: #2 | Spidge, I don't know why this didn't occur to me earlier. I have two mates in Norway who travel around a fair bit. I will get in touch with them and see if they have the time to help. Btw, from memory you have a listing for Clermont in Queensland? My lists are at home. My sister lives there and can probably do Mackay as well if you have any there.
