In any case it appears the flight plan was submitted and SAR time actioned.

Curious how far from the aerodrome an aircraft crashed.
If there were portable runway lights and a responsible person in attendance, what was the responsible person doing? Particularly if the aircraft crashed in close proximity to the aerodrome.

Agree with the discussions about the fuel/water. I’m pretty sure the 182P has bladder cells in it, that sometimes can trap water easily in comparison to wet wings, particularly if the aircraft isn’t parked on level ground.
