Interesting comments by a witness...
A witness named Michael told 2GB: "I was up watching a plane spinning out of control. I thought it was a model plane ... "Derek Darlow, a former mechanical engineer at Hoxton Park Airport, which closed this Monday, said that the planes were probably coming in to land at Bankstown Airport.
"There is an inbound reporting point in Prestons, which planes have to pass over before they land at Bankstown Airport and the planes were probably passing over that when they clipped each other,'' Mr Darlow said.
"Now that they've closed Hoxton Park Airport, there are fewer places for these planes to land and this sort of thing will be happening more and more often.''
That last statement is sure to provoke panic and paranoia amongst BK residents. Glad to hear the Liberty got home safely, sad to hear the Cessna didn't make it.....
