KOTA BARU: The remains of the 12 crew of the ill-fated British Royal Air Force (RAF) Douglas DC 3 Dakota KN630 aircraft which crashed 58 years ago, was airlifted from the rough terrain of Gua Musang to Kota Baru.

The remains, which authorities are hoping would be that of nine British military personnel and three Malaysians, were brought to the Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia (HUSM)’s forensic unit late Friday.
