Hi Monet, I have just found this article. I am the group leader who took the team onto the site 20 something years ago. I am the Warrant Officer, Bobby, who is on far left on the picture you have. I spoke to Rusty during the planning for your first expedition and had hoped that the UK team had enough information to take you onto the site. I am so glad you found it. I have also watched the interview with John and he is right about the burial spot of the remains. The remains where buried in several black plastic bags and secured with white mine type. You where on the mark where you found the aircraft number. At the time we could access the ground below the wing and buried them around three feet under the soil at the time. Looking at the pictures of the wing I would guess you would have had to dig around 6 to 7 feet below the wing due to foliage and soil that would have covered the wing over the years. I can give you more detail on that expedition if you wish. Did BATUK give you the framed wing gun I carried of the mountain at the time? Drop a means of contacting you if you pick this up. I dont do social media so an email would be a start.
I'm only part way through the video here, but what strikes me most is the level of respect the men show for women. "You come behind me." Putting himself literally between a woman and a charging elephant should the need arise is beyond humbling. No anger, no resentmemt, just showing utmost respect for women. even the descendant of a colonizer of their own country, and not all that long ago. It's something all Americans could learn from instead of screaming about hundreds of years old history.
Or or, we can address and fix our past, and move into the future instead of acting like nothing happened. Accepting our failures in the past and moving forward with reparations is the best way forward, for everyone, not just the people who are saying it’s not their problem.
I was scrubbing through and stopped on "i farted" i'm howling w laughter I've followed this from the start on tiktok- thank you for posting your journey
@@anjofefe9 you'll notice I didn't specify that. Audio could have been cleaned up in non-jungle areas. Or subtitles added. I just stated that some portions of the audio were very muted.
Why is it so hard to find it why can’t she just drop a pin on her phone where it is when she first got to it. Not saying I could do this but yk what I’m saying
Just before you started going up the mountain-what happened? The music started-it’s SO distracting & loud. I’m so disappointed, Part I was so compelling & well done. 😩
Found you on TikTok and I'm HOOKED. Well-done, I love your attitude and storytelling style (and sense of humor)!
Same!

When she packed the tampons I was thinking of so many ways to use that other then for its original use
LOL love this
I like the music playing 'underground'😅
I enjoyed this series, I just wish the audio had been a little clearer. You were so quiet in some places I couldn't understand you
they were literally in the middle of a bambu forest, I think they had more important issues to attend

I know there is a lot of confusion, but this is not the woman on local TV in Newfoundland
LOL

I cannot believe that walking in nature is legal.
lolol this is a real crossover comment. I see you.

Need to be so foul mouthed?
yes it is actually a requirement
Need to be so judgemental?
So you felt the need to come on her channel to tell her how to behave?
@@lbmua Yes😂
