Dunno, probably a cause to the accident that may prevent similar deaths in the future? Regardless of category, if an aircraft crashes and takes a life it should be investigated. Bet Terrys family is happy about the accident being overlooked simply because a government organisation has no money. What a crock of **** suppose the fat cats have to pay for the xmas ball somehow!

...the accident being overlooked...
rocket66, i dont think the accident is being "overlooked" as such. The crash aircraft was a new build 'one off' experimental design based on a WW2 mustang fighter.
referance -"...prevent similar..." There is little about a single build aircraft that could be compared to any other aircraft. Hence there are no other 'like' type aircraft for the ATSB to be concerned about.
