Many small parts litter the rocky slope including Blown .303 cases also more troubling part of a woollen R.A.F issue jumper!
The largest part is a 18"square bit of skinning still here because it's pinned under a very big rock so magpie proof.
While looking for this site I came across an area near the summit that has the look of an impact, this may be the site of the crash of Hawker Audax K7350 which hit the hill on the 06/08/37 luckily both crew survived .
This I believe is an accurate crew list of X3198 =
Sgt Pilot Gordon Stanley Parry
Sgt Pilot Charles Gordon Alexander Christiy
Sgt Pilot George Murray Scott
Sgt Air Obs. William John Chevers RCAF
Sgt W.Op./Air Gnr. William Hesketh Hindle RCAF
Sgt W.Op./Air Gnr. Howard Bate Webster RCAF
Sgt Christian Conrad Ostenfeld RAA
