Without food or water, he survived four days and nights in mangroves infested with giant salt water crocodiles. The Top End of Western Australia, One of the world's most hostile places.

in 1987 men from the Australian Royal Air Force (RAAF) journeyed to this remote and inhospitable place to recover this old war relic.
