Mystery solved? A woman says she solved the disappearance of a plane 40 years ago using "Google Earth"

The woman who claims to have solved the mystery posted anonymously an image of "Google Earth" from the site where he found the alleged remains of the aircraft near a place known as Creek Mine in Barrington Tops National Park, in New South Wales, located in southeastern Australia.

The location of the satellite image coincides with the location where the famous VH-MDX flight disappeared forever on 9 August 1981.. Since then, we knew nothing about the problem: it is the only case of civil aviation in Australia that has not been solved since the Second World War.

Australian Royal Air Force pilot Mike Hutchins operated the single-engine aircraft, which return from Whitsunday Islands to Sydney, with a group of four friends – Ken Price, Noel Wildash, Rhett Bosler and Philip Pembroke -, when the Cesna210M disappeared from the radar after being redirected to a stormy zone. The driver had alerted the control center that they were in a zone of strong turbulence.

The Barrington Search Group (BRG), looking for the missing plane, He pointed out that they knew the existence of the image, but that it had nothing to do with the disappearance that occurred in the early eighties..

They specified that it's actually a plane flying in the sky and Google's satellite has captured it at a time when it seems to be perched on the ground. They explained that you can see the shadow that is projected on the forest in flight, a common situation in "Google Earth".

"It is very difficult for the current images captured by Google's satellites to be able to detect the VH-MDX for two main reasons: it is very likely that the foliage of the trees covers the remains of the plane and If there are any remains in the area, the resolution to detect them is not sufficient", they explained in a statement.

In addition, they added, "it is very difficult for the remains of the aircraft to be in such conditions" as those of the imagethey said.

The picture presented by the anonymous woman was published before the start of a new search. In May, a group of drones will be used to search for suspected remains.

However, Yvonne Pembroke, one of the widows of the disappeared, badured a local television channel that is "intrigued" that people "continue to try to solve the mystery".

The main problem for a search of the remains of the plane is the area where it disappeared: is part of the national park called "The Great Divide Range", the largest mountain system in Australia.

The place is wild, wild and irregular, with pristine mountains and dense forests and deep ravines. In 1981, an expedition searched the remains for ten days without result.

However, despite all the setbacks, the search is continuing.
