When Greg’s turn came to address us attendees he sported a hi-vis ATSB jacket and ran a video of the Mallard’s fatal last seconds as it plunged into the water. This video was on a loop and cycled there for us to see throughout the whole of Greg’s speech. Over and over again, surreal? Certainly bizarre say no more.
Pretty sure the slideshow showed lots of accidents, not just that one. I was at the presentation by Mr Carmody and Mr Hood at Avalon that year. I requested, and received, a copy of it to play to our local club.
