Description: In August 1947 in the highest of the High Andes, one of the earliest long-haul passsenger aircraft, a Lancastrian called Star Dus, disappeared en route to Santiago, Chile. It left behind only questions: was it sabotage; was there a hoard of gold on board ; and what was the meaning of the radio operator's mysterious final message before the airwaves fell silent? Only with the discovery of the wreckage by two Argentinian climbers in January 2000 could those questions at last begin to be answered.
