Video of the crash site on 10 News tonight shows a virtual write-off, with the aircraft obviously deformed, laying on its right side minus the tail boom. The forced landing area appears to be well chosen, being a large open level flat grassed paddock. However for some reason the thing has rolled over on landing and self-destructed. Reports also that 5 people were on board which, if true, surprises me as a 407 is a small machine and it was on its way to the retrieval scene.
