Lost And Found In The 1960s Aussie Outback - Part 1

By Frank's MS Flight Sim

 

In 1962, Jim Knight decided to fly his newly acquired WW2 Australian-made Wackett aircraft from Melbourne, Victoria, across outback Australia to Perth, Western Australia. He made it as far as Ceduna, South Australia, then disappeared. After one of the largest aerial searches in Australia's history, nothing was seen of him. Three years later, his aircraft was accidentally spotted way, way off track from where he was heading. This Part 1 video covers his trip from Melbourne to Ceduna. Part 2 will cover the loss and& the finding after Ceduna. Hope you find this interesting. Cheers.

About Frank's MS Flight Sim

I am an avid recreational pilot and flight simmer. Now retired, my career was in airport engineering, and engineering education and training. I use MSFS to practice aspects of my real-life recreational flying, and to make YouTube videos to share on all aspects of aviation such as: heritage/vintage flights, airfields and aircraft; bush/outback/back-country/mountain/water airstrips; aircraft accident investigations; scenic locations; wars; etc. I make a new video every 7 to 10 days. I provide brief, interesting information, often with history, geography, maps, pictures etc, and great places to fly in MSFS. As an avid, curious life-long learner, my focus is on interesting content. Hope you enjoy watching as much as I do producing. Cheers.
