DCA then spent a great deal of time searching for the prop - it was never located.
This sounded interesting technically, so I had a look around on the Interweb. Wasn't able to find anything, but it could be I wasn't using the right search terminology - does anyone know about the resultant investigation and if there was a report issued?
Thanks, FP.
