In 1962, Jim Knight decided to fly his newly acquired WW2 Australian-made Wackett aircraft from Melbourne, Victoria, across outback Australia to Perth, Western Australia. He made it as far as Ceduna, South Australia, then disappeared. After one of the largest aerial searches in Australia's history, nothing was seen of him or his aircraft.. Three years later, his aircraft was accidently spotted way, way off track. Previous Part 1 video covered his trip from Melbourne to Ceduna. This Part 2 video covers the loss & the finding of his Wackett after Ceduna, & provides some info on Wackett aircraft. Hope you find this interesting. Cheers.
