    A seatbelt found on the South Island's West Coast might unravel a 60 year old mystery

    A seatbelt found on the South Island's West Coast might unravel a 60 year old mystery


    Brian Chadwick's Dragonfly-type plane went missing on a scenic flight between Christchurch and Milford Sound on February 12, 1962.

    The five on board included a newlywed couple.

    A few weeks back, a couple found an old seatbelt on a beach near their whitebaiting spot in Karangarua, on the West Coast.

    Police are now forensically examining the belt ... and a helicopter is doing a sweep of the area today.

    The Civil Aviation Authority is assisting Police.
