In the rugged and spectacular frontier of Papua New Guinea there’s an outrageous treasure hunt going on Old war planes, bombers and fighters, that once flew in the battles to save Australia against the advancing Japanese during World War II are being plundered from the jungle.

 

In a major investigation, Ross Coulthart uncovers a black-market trade in the historic wrecks which are in demand by collectors and museums around the world.

 

The problem is the warbirds, some of which are worth millions of dollars, belong to the government and people of PNG, although that seems to be no deterrent to Australian Robert Greinert.

Did it go on to say what the government and people of PNG were doing to preserve these million dollar aircraft?

 

 

[Robbo]

Should do nothing as there basically a war grave.

 

 

[facthunter]

The whole world is becoming a war grave. Nev

Speaking of av videos and New Guinea, This has to be the best thing on youtube. Typical Pommie production. Almost no contrived human emotion BS and riveting. I'm guessing you've seen it already but if you haven't, you won't be able to switch it off.
