Anyone know anymore details, who the pilot was, or type of aircraft? Very sad to hear :(

ABC have updated the news,
Sadly Milfred Knight has lost his life in the accident.
He will be sadly missed.
Blue Skies for ever.
RIP Milfred

What type of aircraft was Milfred flying? The updated news report indicates that it may have been an RA-AUS machine.

Another tragic loss, RIP Milfred.

I think it was a Kitfox or lookalike. A number of those in Taz.

Just found a news article saying its an 'Avid Aircraft Mark IV.' see http://www.examiner.com.au/story/450...dies-in-crash/

Milfred was one of our fire spotters in years gone by when I worked out of DPO. I like others spent many summer afternoons bumping around the sky with Milfred chasing the smoke coming out of the plantations.

A quiet, unsuspecting fellow. Flying at 75, thats an achievement!
