Above link doesn't appear to be working.
Avgoustino who was PIC? and Boss of Griffon Aviation was a great bloke with plenty of experience and well respected in the Cyprus aviation community. He will be sadly missed.
Thoughts are with both sets of families at this sad time

Yes Ed, it was Avgoustinos and a student. Night flight Paphos to Beirut. Ditched 50 South of LCA. Maybe I know you, Ed?

Highly unlikely, but you never know. Most of the wreckage has arrived in Limassol. Sad to see the car there today where 'CLI parks.

Very hard to believe. I passed my ME in 5B-CLI in August and flew with Avgoustinos earlier this month. Took me through my PPL six years ago. I said I'll see you on my next trip to Cyprus in April. I guess not. Such a shame; a great bloke and dedicated to GA.
