STOP IT LEFTIE .. . YOU WILL GO BLIND
(my comment about ATSB is valid . .. even if not precisely in accordance with your rigorous approach to the avoidance of digression. One Darren Barnfield investigated the G White fatality. He is probably on this one.)
from the RAA facebook page July last year -
The Association is saddened to report two New South Wales members were fatally injured yesterday (6th July 2014) while flying a Morgan Sierra from Moruya airfield on the NSW South Coast.
Recreational Aviation Australia immediately dispatched a trained Accident Consultant, Technical Manager Darren Barnfield, to assist with investigating the accident’s possible cause(s). This investigation is hampered by the fact that the aircraft crashed into the ocean, with attempts to retrieve the wreckage commencing this morning by police.
Findings will be made available once the Coroner’s report is formally released.
Members will be advised if any immediate safety concerns are determined as a result of preliminary investigations.
We confirm one of the pilots was a well-known and highly respected Instructor and Pilot Examiner who also held GA Instructor qualifications, and the flight was conducted for the purposes of completing the pilot’s Biennial Flight Review in the owners’ own aircraft.
