Australian explorers have credited record low tides and a blue moon for the "one-in-a-million" discovery of one of the world's first aeroplanes buried in Antarctic ice.

 

The monoplane, which was the first aircraft off the Vickers factory production line in Britain just eight years after the Wright brothers' first flight, was taken to Antarctica by Australian explorer Douglas Mawson in 1911.
