This is a rare VHS copy of an iconic Australian film of a terrible aviation tragedy that occurred in 1937. This production was only aired once on TV by Network Ten. You cannot get an official copy of this movie from anywhere... trust me, I tried. In 2010, upon digging deeper on some online forum, I came across someone that had recorded it on their VHS recorder back in the day - they were happy to send me a copy for $5. More recently, I noticed someone else uploaded this movie some years back, however I believe this copy is a tad bit better quality (like two resolution grains better) and therefore I uploaded this version.

If you are planning to do the Stinson Hike at Lamington National Park, I recommend you to watch this movie beforehand as you will appreciate the very challenging terrain that the rescuers of the plane wreck survivors and Bernard O'Reilly had to endure. The hike will be so much more meaningful if you know the story.

It is said the russians where launching people into space where 2 kids with a high tech radio at the time picked up people screaming from space. Then cosmonaut's in russian photos disappeared from all images.

I was on that plane in 1937, and made the movie. Should have asked me for a copy.
