I was lucky to find this video. It's very sad for me as my grandfather was on that flight on his way home from World War II. He died so close to home my mom grew up without a father for the time she was 4

I hiked the mountain. I found an intact baby bottle. It IS the same plane wreck you investigated

Very similar to NAC DC3 crash Kaimai Ranges Whenuapai to Tauranga, early 60's
