And unfortunately it looks like a Cessna 172 (VH-PFT) may have crashed on Monday evening during aerial photography of the event. The pilot and passenger are at this time unaccounted for.

Reportedly flying at mast height, banked, wing it water and nosed in.

Doesn't sound good at all, with the recovery of items from the ac and reports that no one made it out. :( Par Avion/Airlines of Tasmania have only had VH-PFT since March. Has visited Wagga on three occasions (March, September and recently in November).
