GSM phone contacts with the local cells were analysed by the police to
try and find a clue as to where the glider could be.


I must add that the location was described as a radial from the given
ground station cell, in a very wide range of possible distances.
Nevertheless, the contact proved itself to be consistent with the
actual location. It just wasn't the most relevant information due to
the low accuracy level. The ground station cell was based at around
30km from the place of impact (in a mountain territory).
