India Four Two. Many thanks for the prompt info. While I didn't know the pilot personally we were in the RAAF in the same era. He later became chief pilot of Polynesian Airlines in the South Pacific. By my estimation he would have been close to 80 years old when he was killed. Looks like he may have stretched his luck just a bit too far, flying in that environment at that age?
