Spitfire at Crocodile Creek | Storyteller Media
In 1943, Flying Officer Derek Gray of Britain’s Royal Air Force crashed his Spitfire in the remote Australian Outback.
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.
This is their story.
Experience with them the dramatic tides, the clawing glutinous mud, the extreme heat…..the sharks and the man-eating crocodiles.
Spitfire at Crocodile Creek is an adventure story like no other. A story of guts and determination……..of men battling the most extreme of elements.
It’s also a story about aviation history. About the famous Spitfires and the men who flew them.
And, it’s a story about one of natures most feared predators….. the prehistric crocodile.
Join us, and discover the intriguing reason for Derek Gray’s ill-fated flight just days before Christmas in 1943.
