Which is correct by the way.If it was taken 17 years after the crash,surely the photo dates from 1960,if it is taken in 1950,then it's 7 years since it crashed.

If the film was based on this plane and it's crew,did one of then really survive and which of the crew members was it ??
Sorry. The photo was taken in 1960 shortly after the wreckage was found (at last!).

As far as is known, there were no survivors but it's also unknown how many survived the crash. Evidence was found that most of the crew wandered off into the desert, leaving some flying boots arranged in the shape of an arrow to indicate their direction, though some stayed behind for a while longer. No single airman bailed out and survived (though some did and re-grouped at the plane).

B. (I can't remember the bit about a survivor in the film! )
