ARGENTINA: AIRCRAFT THAT CRASHED 50 YEARS AGO: REMAINS
Spanish/Nat
The final remains of a British plane that disappeared in the Andes mountains over 50 years ago have been recovered by an Argentinian army expedition team.
The remains, which include the body parts of the three crew men who disappeared with the craft, have been carried to the Andean town of Tupungato.
The plane was discovered by accident last month by a mountain expedition team who alerted the authorities.
For years, the fate of the missing British Avro Lancastrian was one of the great aviation mysteries.
Now, the plane and its passengers are finally being laid to rest.
This is base camp at the foot of Tupungato volcano in the Andes.
It's here that the Argentinian expedition team have brought the remains of the British plane that disappeared in a snowstorm in 1947.
Tattered scraps of clothes and a severed hand eerily mummified by the cold were displayed - the clues to a story that couldn't be told for more than half a century.
Two Argentine mountaineers discovered the site accidentally last month as they climbed the 21,848-foot (6,554-metre) volcano.
Now, the 17-member army expedition sent to recover the remains has returned with its quarry.
For years, the fate of the British Avro Lancastrian was one of the world's great aviation mysteries.
The perilous peaks where the plane disappeared are so high they're shrouded in snow and freezing temperatures all year round.
Operated by the now defunct British South American Airways, the plane was carrying 11 people - five crew members and six passengers - and was headed to Santiago, Chile, when it disappeared on August 2nd, 1947.
The passengers included three Britons, a German, a Palestinian and a Swiss.
Respect was paid to the dead.
UPSOUND: (Spanish)
They were expected but they never arrived. Let's hold a minute of silence.
SUPER CAPTION: Argentinian military spokesman
Four-wheel drive vehicles, mules and mountaineers were used in the expedition.
Taking advantage of the southern hemisphere summer, a helicopter was also sent to the mountain.
But much of the trip involved scaling near-vertical rocky faces.
Once back on ground, the remains were carried to Mendoza.
On hand to receive them was the Defence Attache at the British embassy in Buenos Aires.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
And I wish to pay tribute particularly to the professionalism and stamina shown by this team. Because it is no mean feat to go climbing a mountain of that height and of those severe conditions to do a task which is a sad task, a thankless task which is to clear up the tragedy that happened.
SUPER CAPTION: Colonel Hamon Massey, Defense Attache, British Embassy, Buenos Aires
The remains will be held in this military morgue where they will be analysed by scientists.
Thus ends one of the great air mysteries.
For years, during the early pioneering days of aviation, the Andes mountain range was a virtual graveyard for planes.
The last message from the plane has puzzled aviation investigators for years.
Radio operators in Chile reportedly received a Morse code message reading STENDEC - an acronym investigators say has no meaning.
Following the crash, search teams from England, Chile and Argentina combed the area by air and on skis but found nothing.
Theories abounded about the plane's disappearance.
It is now accepted by many experts that severe weather was the cause of the crash as the converted World War II bomber did not have de-icing capabilities and was unfit to travel through winter conditions.

At least 19 die as Peru bus plunges off mountain road
Originally published on October 7, 2013
At least 19 people were killed on Sunday in the Peruvian Andes when a bus
went off the highway and plunged around 100m into a ravine, police said.
The bus, en route from Lima to Acombamba went off the road in the Huancavelica region in southern Peru.
According to local press reports the Antezana company bus crashed through a barrier early on Sunday morning near the town of Carhuaranja.
Local radio stations reported that two children were among those killed. Around 20 others were injured in the accident.
Police said that local authorities are using cranes in a bid to recover the bodies of the dead.
Nearby residents and relatives of those involved in the crash gathered around the site of the crash and helped in the rescue effort, turning the bus upright in a bid to help rescuers extract the bodies of the injured who remain trapped inside the vehicle's wreckage.
Deadly bus crashes are a frequent occurrence in Peru because of the country's many mountain roads, poor vehicle maintenance and driver inexperience.
