Hs.748 ZS-XGZ wrecked on landing in Sudan? (merged)
Hi all,
looking on confirmation and perhaps additional details of below message:
ZS-XGZ c/n 1740 was wrecked in Southern Sudan; must likely reregistered to 5Y-TCA for Trackmark Cargo, it overran a runway and wrecked its rh mainlandinggear, damaged props, flaps and belly: damaged beyond economic repair and probably left to rot.
Any confirmation to this, more details?
thx
Rudi

Runway – 600 m
Cargo – 6 000 kg.

Sad to see such a fine aircraft lost ... turbo Dak, Buff or Andover its a tricky strip ... glad all crew walked safely and sympathies to TRACKMARK who did not deserve that one
