Final farewell for RAAF disaster victims
After 60 years, the last victims of the RAAF's worst single air disaster have finally been laid to rest.

The Dakota A65-61 crashed in the Carstenz Ranges on September 18, 1945, in what is now Indonesian West Papua.

29 passengers and crew were killed. An RAAF team with Indonesian air force support recovered the last of the remains of those killed in June this year.
