Hi Natalie, Richard and I did our flying training together with the Aero Club of Papua in the mid 1960's. He obtained his Private Licence around 1965, he then went on to complete his Commercial licence after I left PNG in 1967. I was notified of his death by a John Buchan who he and I worked for as mechanics. John asked me if I send a letter to his mother in Austria which I did. I have just noticed your post while I was looking for any details about the accident. Rob
