I can only echo what Alex has said.

Should you be in a position to be able to release any further information, then continued updates would be very much welcome.

Thanks again.

Mark Jury I think had a great book that showed really well the different parts of the war (not just combat stuff) going on in the early 70s. Does anyone know if any of his stuff was published besides the stuff in the 1971 book? I was talking on the phone recently to a guy who was in probably Jurys most used photo. He met Jury once or twice after the war and once was able to see some of his probably thousands of other photos. Dont know what happened to them all. Said there was real good ones too like a lot more from in Cambodia.

HUMAN remains discovered in Kampong Cham province last month that some said could be those of missing war photographer Sean Flynn do not appear to be those of a Caucasian, according to preliminary test results, US embassy spokesman John Johnson said Sunday.

Flynn, son of the Australian-American Hollywood actor Errol Flynn, went missing in Cambodia in 1970 along with his friend and fellow photographer Dana Stone.

Last month, two men – 29-year-old Australian Dave MacMillan and 60-year-old Briton Keith Rotheram – made international headlines when they announced that they had found bones in Kampong Cham’s Phka Dong village that they said could be Flynn’s.

After discovering the remains, MacMillan and Rotheram turned them over to the US embassy for processing by the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command (JPAC), a US military institution in Hawaii that forensically analyses evidence that may lead to the repatriation of Americans killed in overseas conflicts.

“Preliminary tests make it seem like the remains do not belong to a Caucasian,” Johnson said, adding that JPAC officials had been hindered in their work by the unscientific manner in which the bones were exhumed.

“The remains themselves were damaged by the method of their extraction,” Johnson said.

MacMillan and Rotheram could not be reached for comment on Sunday.

Tim Page, a photographer and friend of Flynn’s from their time in Southeast Asia, on Sunday criticised what he said was a haphazard approach to the dig by MacMillan and Rotheram. The JPAC results, he added, brought a bit of relief to him and other friends who have been searching for Flynn and Stone.

“At least it’s been resolved, and that means we can keep on with the search,” he said.
