Anyone knows where she lays exactly?

Quote:
On a transfer flight from South Africa to UK on 13.07.1994 both starboard engines failed and the pilot made a belly landing in the darkness of the night, 80km west of Fderik. All 19 on board survived. Was operated by the South African Air Force Museum

I see the film of this event: 'The Death of Pelican 16’ is now on youtube.
Fascinating story.
