As i said earlier the plane is in remarkable condition whether it's 7 or 17 years in the desert,but then the incredibly dry atmosphere would be a lot kinder (if thats the right expression !!) to the aircraft than a temperate climate.Unfortunately the same can't be said for the crew.

Must have been terrible,finally relising they weren't going to be recused,then walking off into the desert to a certain death.Is it known if any of the crew left anything behind in the form of a Journal or a Diary ??

Thanks

Steven
