I attended the Stinson crash site after completing the Stretcher Track 23 & 24 March 2020. I have previously visited the crash site in September 2019. Unfortunately, upon arriving on the 24 March 2020 we found that a massive tree fall had caused a landside – the last remaining parts of the crash site are almost all buried. You can see two small parts of the wreckage under the tree fall (less than what remained previously). The memorial grave was completely gone including the separate plaque that was close by. The tree fall was recent and the foliage still abundant. It may be the case that in the future once the leaves die and wither the memorial or parts of it may be located. |
