This Site is dedicated to all those families of the people that have tragically disappeared on flights in and around New Zealand. I only hope that from all the effort in building this site and from all the effort of those taking part in this venture, that it will bear fruit in bringing ‘closure’ to their memories!

And you can see from the previous 1988 aerial photo that the sea was obviously still
getting right up to the sea wall in that area - at least in stormy conditions, as
there is driftwood washed up close to where the sea wall is now.
On page 239 in “TunnelVision”, Martin quotes from a 'Restricted ' Military Report:
Along from Torpedo Bay wharf is an earth cave. There is no evidence of tunnels in
the rear of the cave unless there has been a roof collapse. A vertical shaft 6' in
diameter rises from the cave ceiling. It has previously contained a ladder. There
is no sign of where the shaft leads to. Witnesses can remember traveling from the
top of North Head to the waterline. This may have been the route they had taken.
The shaft should be investigated.
Martin claims that this Report clearly indicated that this cavern existed as late
as 1988 when the Report was made.
