Sorry TBM, wasn't having a go and you were by no means the only one reporting the poor bloke's premature demise.

If it weren't for the underlying tragedy, you could even find a certain morbid humour in the situation - so far our Bundy friend has been reported as; badly injured, deceased, alive but seriously injured, deceased and now alive but badly banged up in a Brisbane hospital. I managed to confuse the situation by reporting a Rotax as motive power, which was subsequently corrected to a Jab 4 cyl and now I'm told that it is a Jab, but rather a 6 cyl model - and definitely didn't have anything to do with the crash!

Reported elsewhere that the pilot did a go around and either sunk into scrub or clipped a tall tree and then dropped into the bush and may or may not have been experiencing trouble with said Jab at the time. Unfortunately being an RAA registered aircraft the investigation is largely behind closed doors and we are reliant on the bush telegraph to piece together some semblance of intelligence on what happened.
