Copied from the daily telegraph.

AN Australian man is missing feared dead after a helicopter crash in Papua New Guinea.
The 57-year-old man has been missing since late yesterday when the helicopter he was piloting crashed in rugged terrain.

It is understood the man is an experienced pilot who has been working in the mining industry for a number of years.

A Department Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) spokes woman confirmed the The Australian High Commission in Port Moresby was co-ordinating a search for the missing man.

"Consular officials from the Australian High Commission in Port Moresby are liaising closely with local authorities and the man's employer," she said.

"The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade in Canberra is providing consular assistance to the man's family."

This is never a nice thing to happen.. My thoughts are with the family...
