according to sources on facebook, the aircraft is from a group from the sunshine coast in Qld, on a trip to Eyres rock. sunshine coast seaplanes or something... sounds like a fun trip.

Erm... no I'm not.
It's just that I felt I'd seen it before.
Anyway, you're the man on the spot - what's the latest?
I also wonder why 3 needed to go out in the LongRanger - were they going to give it a push-start?.

I also wonder how come 3 hopped into the LongRanger to pick them up.
I also have to question the wisdom of the chopper coming down from Moomba so late at night to pick everyone up.

Well, it's quite clearly shown in this overview of the LongRanger and the SeaRay:

There's a bleedin' close up picture of the stuck Searey in post 13 of this thread!
What more do you need, DF?

That was a file photo from some time back.
P.S. It has not been on any of the TV channels I watch.
DF,
So what you're telling us all is that the amphibious aircraft currently stuck on Lake Eyre North isn't perhaps a Searey?
And that it is only a file photo from sometime before?
You quote: "P.S. It has not been on any of the TV channels I watch."
May I commend the ABC to you?
You quote: "I tried ringing Trev a while ago but he's in YBDV." My rather ancient Telstra mobile phone worked perfectly when I was at Birdsville about a year ago.

Umm...
Gentlemen, can someone who knows something please post and put us out of our misery.
Ta!
p.s. Thanks for your positive contribution, gerry. (no smiley)
At least DF has tried to give us a local's assessment - I should get smarter and just watch ABCTV. (yawn)

I was only poking fun, not "jumping down" anyone's "neck", especially not DF's. If it came out the wrong way, DF, my apologies.
The 'file photos' of aircraft stuck out there - which I assume means photos taken 'before the incident the subject of this thread' - were of the carcass of a 210 from circa 2009(?), which is still out there, and of an Airvan from circa 2014(?) which was retrieved.
