Plane found in Himalayas 69 years after it vanished

A family searching for the plane of an American pilot have finally found it - 69 years after he disappeared.
The C-47 transport aircraft was 13,400ft up a Himalayan mountain, and is thought to be the final resting place of its pilot, Jimmy Browne, who was just 21 when he was shot down on a flight between Kunming in China, and Dinjan, India, on 17 November, 1942.
Browne's cousin Bob Willett joined forces with wealthy businesman and adventurer Clayton Kuhles, who led a team that found and identified the wreckage in China's Yunnan Province, according to the Daily Mail.
