ADF to investigate possible PNG airman discovery
Updated
The Australian Defence Force is preparing to visit the Kokoda Track in Papua New Guinea to confirm a possible discovery of the body of a second world two airman found hanging above the track.
A group of Melbourne trekkers say they discovered what they suspect is a moss covered body hanging in a harness from the jungle canopy halfway along the Kokoda Track.
An Australian defence force spokesman says the location of the find is near a flight path commonly used by allied aircraft during the war, and that a number of aircraft were reported as missing in this area.
The track was the scene of fierce fighting between Japanese and Australian troops.
