In Search of The Flying Dutchman - Peter Gamgee
- A solo adventure in the remote mountains of Papua New Guinea
Peter's gruelling search for a forgotten warplane, in the remotest parts of Papua New Guinea did not turn out as expected. The journey to find a piece of history with its own survival story became a physically and emotionally challenging investigation. He came to know the people in the hidden villages on the Ghost Mountain Trail. A culture as forgotten to the rest of the world as the aircraft Peter was hunting for. New trails are cut and unmapped lands explored as Peter uncovers the path to The Flying Dutchman. A clash of history and culture, mystery and misery, conservation and logistics all interwoven in a very personal journey." ...there are many who questioned my sanity, but wished me luck in any case." - Peter
