Apologies if posted elsewhere....
Saw a write-up in the West Australian a few days ago about a bloke originally from Perth, Dave Shaw (CX Capt) attempting to recover the body of a diver from a cave in South Africa.
Thought was a great thing he was doing for that guy's family - so they could bury their son....
Heard the tail end of a news item last night that he too had gone missing in the cave, wasn't sure if I had heard right. A search of the internet news confirmed it. He is missing presumed dead.
Hoping like hell it is just a mistake but it doesn't look good.
Thought would post it here as hadn't seen anything about it, and he is a pilot.
Damn shame, like we need more sadness these days.
Sympathies to his family.
