We currently
contacting a group from the north Malaysia about this wreck. The wreck still
intact and we will visit this site soon for further investigation.
So far there is
no human remains found which we believed they were bailed out from the
aircraft or we assumed they were successfully crashed landed this aircraft
in the jungle due to intact cockpit section but were captured by Communist
Terrorist or being killed in the jungle after getting lost.
I contacting
several researcher which familiar with DC-3. From the serial number, it was
found on the records below :-
*This
is a really interesting aircraft. It disappered on a flight from
Singapore to Butterworth on November 27, 1945. They searched for it
until December 16, 1945 and gave up. The aircraft had three crew
members who are shown as "Missing in Action" on the "Tablets
of the Missing at Manila American Cemetary" If their remains have
not previously been recovered, they may still be in or around the aircraft.
