Jack Palmer (wearing white singlet) and Australian salvage crew at DC-3 PK-AFV force landed on the beach at Carnot Bay
Stan Gajda adds: "The man in the white singlet is Jack
Palmer who found/pinched the diamonds. This photo shows
the team that went in to the wreck after the survivors were
evacuated and after Palmer had got the diamonds. I believe
that they are all standing around an unexploded Japanese bomb
which was about in that position. This bomb was defused
by the Army about 1975 and is in the SAS Barracks in Perth. The bomb I found was in front of the plane."
