no I don’t. all this is bullshit.
The origional ” STENDEC” was from a bonafide UFO on a British airfield. I read the origional book of transcripts of air traffic controlers and witnesses. But now it has all been ” dissolved” into a completley different random story. I can no longer find the origional story.
This smacks of a government cover up and ” google” screwing with actual facts to make a profit from bullshit.

Does Anyone else have some memory of the ” real ” story ?

My brain is trying to remember the actual answer to this mystery. I believe I saw the answer on Don Wildman’s Mysteries of the Museum show or one of those types of shows. STANDEC is not descant or descent, nor did the pilots suffer from hypoxia. It has to do with one of the air force or armies in Argentina. It was a code only used by Argentina in World War II, which explains why nobody knows about it. I cannot remember what it stands for or even where I saw it. I have scoured the internet trying to find the answer with no luck. As I remember, it was solved by either an air force veteran or someone looking through a code book and saw STANDEC.

I apologize as not being able to give you the full answer or a final answer. If I am able to track it down, I will let you know.

Hi, Just trying to get to the bottom of all this. Can anyone tell me if anyone
other than the five English victims were recovered or identified. Seem to me
we have a problem if no other victims have been found or identified. Good
Hi-Jack story????

I do not believe there is any mystery about the message whatever; it is completely insignificant. People try to read too much into it. The message was read as:
“ETA SANTIAGO 1745 STENDEC”

… – . -. -.. . -.-.
S T E N D E C
It should read ST (standard time) – END (of message) – AR .-.-. (end of transmission). They used to call the .-.-. symbol “AR” (it has the same composition as “EC”, and is sent as a single symbol).
The operator was expecting to land in a few minutes and probably had nothing on his mind other than putting away his headphones and taking time off in Santiago. He certainly never expected to spend the next fifty years in a glacier!
Much ado about nothing! That’s my interpretation, anyway.

Tudor IV’s seem to have had a bit of bad luck in that area. Two of Star Dust’s sister aircraft, Star Tiger and Star Aerial, both also disappeared without a trace, although it is likely they went down in the sea after running out of fuel or experiencing technical difficulties.

John F said: “The first part could have been an attempt at SOS but due to a bumpy ride sending morse is not easy so it could easily be messed up, I have sent morse many times and it is easy to make a mistake sitting in a chair let alone on a rough ride in a plane.”

I doubt STENDEC would’ve been mistakenly tapped out three times if the ride was that bumpy ;-D
