Nine from Rockhampton Grammar

The internal chatter (probably via the Townsville refuellers Grandpa) was runway lights reflecting of the very low overcast creating a ghost runway on the still water or the low approach they used to get under the fog tripping them up on turn onto final with the port wingtip finding water.

This event sparked the placement of black boxes on anything from F27 size upwards.
