Unco you are correct except for one thing.i believe the 177 pilot was still trying to get back to CN when the drop at RIC happened. He subsequently arrived at CN with a partial engine failure, gear problems, and no radio. To say the least a massive distraction to the Radar controller.
The aircraft was a PA 28-151. I won't post the call sign. It was most definitely handed over to Camden before this incident with comms intact and no mention of engine problems. Perhaps there was a second A/C you are referring to. There were many compliments to the controller after the hand over. As mentioned after the para incident the controller was relieved from the sector and I didn't hear her for the 4-5 hours I was on sydney's frequency after that.
