Two bush rangers found a wreckage of a planecrash in a jungle in Kampong Speu province which is believed to be either shot down or crashed during the civil war in the 1970s, reports Kampuchea Thmey.

On Thursday 27th May, KoKo Photo Shop provided 7 photographs to Kampuchea Thmey claiming that two bushrangers brought their mobile phone to the shop and asked the shop to print the photos contained in the mobile phone showing a plane wreckage they claimed were taken in the area around Oral Mountain in Kampong Speu province. The photos showing two men standing on the plane wreckage and parts of the plane showing a Khmer alphabets which reads “Cheat” which means “nation”. However, the two bush rangers refused to tell the exact location of the plane wreckage or their home addresses.

According to the locals, in 1973 there was a plane crash in the area but the wreckage has never been found or no one knows how many people have been killed.

Gen. Keo Pisey, Police Commissioner of Kampong Speu, told Kampuchea Thmey that he has not received the report about the discovery of the wreckage, but said a few years ago there was a plane crash in Kampong Chhnang province adjacent to Kampong Speu province near the location of the wreckage. He appealed to the two bush rangers to cooperate with the authority so that the wreckage can be recovered. However, at the time of this article going to press, the two bush rangers had not come forward yet.
