THEY'RE ALIVE

RESCUERS told of their shock yesterday after finding a family clinging to the wings of their light aircraft in a frozen lake, 12 hours after it crashed.

Pilot John Morris and his two children were spotted by a local pilot after their plane lost communication and vanished.

Braving challenging conditions, around a dozen flyers were involved in Sunday evening's operation to look for the Piper PA-12 Super Cruiser.

Airman Terry Godes was expecting the worst when he ventured out on the rescue mission from Soldotna, Alaska.
