Courier mails reckon Durham Downs.
Not good news, apparently.

Latest reports have it as a Cessna 172, two fatalities ..

Location is reported as closer to Thargomindah than Durham Downs.

all too close

I did a short stint at Durham for Kidman's, actually did my training in VH-VSK & know how tight the group there is, such a tragedy, my condolences to the family and friends of those lost.

Safe flying to all..

Comes as a real shock. I used to be based at Durham and flew 600+ hours in VSK before the pilot above took my position. RIP mate and Graham the head mechanic...great bunch of crew at SK and at Durham, may you both RIP.
