FAR CU
Thanks for your post - that report was unknown to me.
Like you, I spent plenty of time flying floatplanes around Pittwater, Sydney Harbour and the Hawkesbury.
Our paths probably crossed at Barrenjoey Boat House.
That area certainly has resulted in many floatplane accidents.
I was working at the Boatshed (not flying) the day of the last fatal accident.
Very tragic situation.
