Remains of British monoplane discovered in Antarctica

[FourWheelDrift]

Not the Hillary expedition. These were on old grainy B/W film and very old cranky machines that soon failed after arrival. May not have been Scott or Shakleton but certainly of that period. Any others try it (Amundsen excepted)?

The film I recall had one part-falling through breaking ice (Arctic then maybe?)

I think your original post had the right picture - they weren't that big. I think it was one of Scott's expeditions. Scott didn't like to copy the natives (ie use dogs) - he had a proud Victorian mentality that anything British was going to be better. The tractors all broke down pretty quickly, and so did the ponies, so the breed changed from Shetland to Shank's...
