Quite sad to see such a string of accidents lately. It doesn't do good things for GA at all.
On a slightly different matter, does anyone in the Brisbane Area know of any crashes/boating accidents that occurred on Saturday afternoon? While leaving the Brisbane basin I reported hearing an EPIRB on 121.50, but obviously never heard anything further. Cheers Mick |

Another report located here http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599...-29277,00.html
Interestingly, it mentions that there was no flight plan filed for the trip, and that it was only because worried relatives contaced authorities that a search was started. If this is the case, then they haven't helped themselves if they are still alive but injured. Nobody plans to have an accident... |

Rescue 431 is just leaving Tamworth to head to Casino via Walcha.
No idea of the type, but that is not a callsign that is usually up this way. |

An update...

This isn't looking very promising... Quote:

That's pretty rugged country out there. Considering how bad the weather was here in Tamworth yesterday, it would have been appalling out in the mountains.
If it is the missing aircraft, at least they have been found. There would be nothing worse than never knowing what happened. |

Just heard the details on the news. Was a young family. A 30yo with wife and 7yo son. They say he might have only had his PPL for 4 months. It was bad weather to fly in. WE had very strongs winds and storms on flight line at Richmond, it was the first time i had seen rain flow horizontally and it continued up the coast.
R.I.P

And not to mention he'd only just picked the plane up after purchasing it.
