OK, so she owns them, I wonder what she will do with them.

This one was published in June 2015. The Items were found on Mili Atoll in the Marshall Islands. The people who found the aircraft parts were expecting Lockheed to be able to identify they came from an Electra, but there has been no word.

The photo was taken at Jaluit Harbour in the Marshall Islands. As the story says, a Japanese researcher matched the photo to one published in 1935 - before they disappeared.The bones were found on Nikumaroro - a long way from the Marshall Islands, and ties in with other research by Tighar.

It matter none really, there's so much confusion, conjecture and water under the bridge etc that unless her credit card is found with her PIN next to it anything and everything is open to fake news!

There have been plenty of theories without any evidence.99% surety will do me.

 

The worst of this is that the bones were found in 1940, three years after she disappeared.

It's al just a media beat up, no one believes anything anymore!!

So, if Earhart crashed near enough to Nikumaroro to be able to swim to the island - why hasn't TIGAR or someone else found her aircraft?

 

Can't be that hard - after all, David Mearns found HMAS Sydney, and the Kormoran as well - and they were down 2000 metres. The Earhart aircraft wreckage can't be that far away from the island.

I'll let TIGHAR tell you about the history of the search for the aircraft; they've done a massive amount of work; TIGHAR

We can't even find MDZ or whatever the rego was of that one that disappeared in the Barrington, so I hardly think we should criticise others on finding planes.

MDX sure is a mystery, plenty of aviation mysteries old and new with so many stories around them.

There have been some brilliant brains deducting where the aircraft was at several points based on radio transmissions, which direction the pilot may have taken on which leg, how far he might have got. and where he might have gone down, and some good triangulation. The problem is the bush is so thick and overgrown that you virtually have to know the exact location withing a few metres and then hack in until you strike metal.

Around the time of the disappearance of that aircraft I was studying a unit on interpretation of landsat imagery. I suggested we compare satellite images taken before to those just after the aircraft was lost.

 

(These days there is clever software that does this automatically to detect asteroids and skin cancers.)

 

You'd be looking for a changed pixel or two; enough to justify a closer look. In the 1930's it was a distant burnt tree that led to Bernard O'Reilly finding the Stinson.

Can't be too brilliant, they never found it wth the same info today as they had all those years ago with less bush.

Maybe you could give them all some tips.
