I believe the pilot was nicknamed 'Mongo', and was a Fg Off named Ian (can't remember the surname). As an aside, if you are ever lucky enough to be invited into the Goose at MPA, you'll notice the wall opposite the entrance has a mural that is half-finished - Mongo was apparently working on this at the time of his accident, and it has been left half-completed out of respect - it was going to read 'Death Before Socially Acceptable Behaviour'...

Can't quite recall the details of the accident, though I have read the report, but concur with the 'disorientation in cloud' already mentioned.

RIP dudes
