A Lancastrian (bomber design conversion to airliner) disappeared in the Andes. Decades later bits were found on a glacier. A Trans Canada North Star (same Merlin engines as the Lancastrian) flew into Mt Slesse in 1956. Fragmented debris was discovered by climbers the next spring. Scattered pieces blend in very well on talus slopes.
