Gwen Cherreil in ' Ordeal of Mary Hunter '
Written by Bob Kesten
Produced by Alan Burgess
A young English nurse and her Canadian husband were the passengers when two single-engined aircraft took off from the settlement of Coppermine, on Canada's Arctic coast, and disappeared completely. An extensive air search was launched while families and friends waited and hoped..... Had the planes crashed? If so, did the four people survive? And how long could they stay alive in the killing cold of the Arctic winter? It was three long, agonising weeks before any of these questions could be answered.
