C208 incidents?
In the thread “Van down in Tanz” on the African Aviation forum there is mention of two C208s going into the drink off the coast of Belize. I will be grateful if someone would provide confirmation and details of these incidents. Whose planes were they, were there any casualties, what caused the ditchings, were the planes recovered, etc? I am particularly interested in knowing if either or both suffered engine failure. Thanks.
