AIRVAN On Mandurah Beach??
Ch 7 News,

A GA Airvan with a reported engine failure made an emergency on the beach at Halls Head, South of Mandurah this arvo.

Pic showed acft in an all-white colour scheme.
Nil damage / nil injuries reported and acft was pictured being towed off the beach.
Well done that man..!!!

Yes apache, it does. They have just replaced the fleet of A380s with GA8's.
