Sorry to hear the fella lost his life: very sad, and my thoughts to the family.
Does anyone know which runway was in use? Looking at the map, it seems to be in the vicinity of the downwind leg for 35, but I would be surprised if it was in use (moe usually 24/06) and I don't think the wind was northerly on Friday?
So presumably the chap had departed to the south - but apparently had not yet signed off the frequency?
