I vaguely recall this was a much longer and larger dream but the part I do remember is quite neat. Me and someone else (a vague faceless sense of 'friend' as you often get in dreams) found a faded and abandoned old B-24 Liberator WW2 bomber, landed in the countryside amongst some scrubby bush and trees (that had grown up around it after it landed there during the war). In one engine cowling I found a battered journal, jammed with papers and odds and ends, which turned out to be that of a famous aviation historian and journalist. I was pretty excited at this amazing and valuable find, and even more excited when wrapped up in a cloth in the journal were tiny pieces of wreckage from the Air NZ DC-10 that crashed into Mt Erebus in Antarctica in 1979. In the dream, I recalled that this journalist character had been a pivotal reporter on the accident at the time. Of course apart from the chronological inconsistency of a book written in the 1970s in a plane abandoned since the 1940s, one of the amusing things about this all was that the journal was so much more exciting to me than finding a perfectly preserved historic plane!
