An
AiResearch survey crew occupy their downtime at a
mining camp on Horn Island while the
cabin door from Hudson VH-AGO dries out in the sun. While out in the
4WD shown in the photo, Tony Dewey found the wreck of VH-AGO in half
a metre of water 50 metres offshore. The cavity in the door was designed
to contain a jettisonable life raft. The interior of the door originally
featured a domed cover for the raft but Adastra would have replaced
this with a flat cover which, although damaged, is still in place. The
flat exterior cover has presumably corroded away. Scott Tomlinson on
