Interesting reading.

Cairns Post update:

Twist of fate in flight of tragedy- Local Cairns News | cairns.com.au

Forget the wings clapping or slapping, the MR etc etc.

The aircraft flew from Cairns to Horn Island, It arrived but held in the vicinity due weather, radio reports were made, it disappeared while holding.

The pilot wasn't rostered for the flight, he was called in because
the rostered pilot declined the flight based on his assessment of the prevailing weather at the destination.
