Details missing pilot Komarek 1968
Hi,
My name is Natalie and I'm writing this email with hope that anyone in this forum can tell us more about an Austria pilot that seem to have gone missing in November 1968 and that was mentioned in another thread within this forum
http://www.pprune.org/archive/index.php/t-384700.html
His name was Richard Komarek. Richard was the uncle of my boyfriend and we love to find out more about him, the person we never had a chance to meet, as we can't get him and his story out of our minds. Here is what we found out so far via an article in the Sydney Morning Herald dated 20th November 1968. Richard seem to have gone missing on a supply flight from Vanimo to Imonda patrol post with his Cessna 206, working for Aerial Tours. From what the article says, the plane must have gone missing on the 11th of November, as there was a search going on for approx. 8 days.
We hope that you can tell us more about him and/or how we went missing!
Looking forward to receiving any details or hints.
Thank you very much in advance.
All the best from Austria
Natalie
