When is the CAA going to do something about these bloody Walter "Skodajet" turbine conversion fletchers!! How many have to fail before they ground them? What are we up to now? 20? 30 failed? Its a tragedy when an ag pilot working his ass off in challenging terrain has one of these buckets of trash fail on him, and its even worse when there is a load of people on board too skydiving.
Operators that think they are saving money putting an inferior engine in a 40 year old airframe instead of buying a cresco are just gambling with peoples lives.
Sort it out CAA, and my condolences to the families of everyone in the crash.
