Ok Guys you will need to sort this out your self’s
My experience with CAA in Gaborone was with A2- HDB owned by Derrick Brink on the day flown by PAT P (Rip).
With NO doubt Pat took off in the new S333 from KASAC flew over the Air Botswana 146 and crashed near the BDF hangar about 1 min flight.
I saw it; it was on FIRE after 30ish seconds - after the crash PAT told Brett one of the last to speak to him “check the Fuel Cap”
You will not find this info any place – but fact is that in position ‘but’ UN locked fuel cap - will let fuel on the S333 flow direct to the partial separator – then into & around the engine. ( BANG )

SO THE PT6 – Per Hr and sector has in last 2 years more problems in Maun (Bots) than normal around the world?? Why.
The Caravan that uses the PT6 the same??

I don’t know the Cessna 208 well and not saying all 3 are related, but normally if a PT6 goes bang it’s just an engine failure not a Fire.

On this one I would love a good look at the maintenance records.
