ZS-JPL Cessna 206 aircraft down in Mozambique !

Sad Story

Flying between Dar to Johanesburg last night I heard a C206 reporting fuel problems , flying from Nampula to Polokwane.

I could pick distress signals around position XABAK , 130 to 160 NM on radial 231 from Beira.

On our way back signals were still on

Let's hope for the best

More Info that I had was that the registration was ZS-JPL , Cessna 206 , he had 4 passengers and 1 pilot and endurance of 7 hours.

When he was calling it already dark, I wonder if he managed to land safely but lets hope some good news come out of this.
