Light Aircraft Crash N of Broome??
From Perth Radio 6PR and Channel 7 item at 11.25 this morning,

Reporting that a light aircraft has 'crashed' about 20km N of Broome....
5 people believed to be involved......

Sounds like it could be a 'beach job'...hope all are well.



Update - Not on the beach.....location 'at 12 mile'.

Further Update - Nil Injuries!!!
