Talk:Antarctic Snow Cruiser

There was an article on this in a magazine called MOTOR in the September 21st 1985 issue with several photographs. It also concluded that the loss of part of the ice shelf may have seen it float way and then sink. Someone should try and see if it is still there and then bring it back for refurbishement and exhibition Anne

Location
if it was found in 1958 what was the publication and expedition. did they recorded the location. did the 1941 expedition record their original position. if it were possible to figure both locations you could track the drift rate and snow depth and have half a chance of finding the machine.

The Aeroplane
The article talks about the use of an aeroplane, and the expedition took along a pilot, Theodore Petras. But I can't find a single reliable photo of the plane mounted on the snow cruiser, either before or after it reached the Antarctic. Or indeed in transit (photographs of the cruiser on its cargo ship don't show the aircraft). In fact I can only find one photo of the two vehicles in the same shot. Did the aircraft ever accompany the snow cruiser? I have the impression Petras spent most of his trip shovelling snow. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 11:07, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
