Caravan 'Down'....Is This For Real... ?
Is this 'for real'... ?
Source is self-explanatory..... Is this seaplane under the sea? Kimberley marine park investigation underway - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) Oh Dear....... |
Yep got a call about it today
|
"With 17,000 incidents, serious incidents and accident notifications made to the ATSB last year, it is not possible for the ATSB to investigate every occurrence... the ATSB focuses its resources in the areas that are most likely to result in safety improvements |

So, a multi million dollar insurance claim lodged and Horizontal Falls Seaplane Adventures Troy Thomas claims the aircraft is in their Broome hangar ?
Some 'porky pies' floating around here. |
I think you will find of the 46 per day, most are aviation, mainly because ATC have to submit inane "incident" reports on the most trivial things. e.g. Having QFA933 and QFA923 on freq at same time, some controllers are submitting incidents listed as Possible callsign confusion. You could then have multiple controllers in different submitting the same incident. If they think it could lead to an incident, why don't they follow the change callsign examples in AIP to avoid the possible incident. There are plenty more examples at this level of stupidity.
|
Emirates last week introduced alpha numeric callsigns across its Australian flights in an effort to reduce incidents. Etihad also is on selected flights.

According to CASA website VH-PGA is not on the register
|
So who is telling lies about a crashed plane a huge insurance claim here? Where is the ATSB? This is an airline category aircraft? All lies, fraud or coverup?

The Broome Triangle?

Clearly the ABC news has their facts wrong.
False news here, unless the Company operates 2 X VH PGA's and one of them did in fact sink. One of the VH-PGA's was shown to the ABC by Thomas, sitting high and dry in his hangar DAYS AFTER the other VH-PGA's alleged sinking in Talbot Bay on 15th March? Go Figure. |
According to CASA website VH-PGA is not on the register Near collision involving Cessna 210L, VH-TCI, and Cessna 208, VH-PGA 46 km NNE of Broome Airport, WA on 15 July 2015 Here are the Australian aviation rego search results for 'VH-PGA'. The aircraft registration database was last refreshed from the Australian Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) on 03/Apr/2018 Intriguing? |
CASA rego search has been broken for weeks.
Try this https://www.casa.gov.au/aircraft-register/pga Never let the facts get in the way of a good story .... |
Obviously!
No matter what field I use at the CASA registration search site - tried "Cessna 208" and "2080031" - the result was always "no record". Probably should have anticipated the CASA search function could be broken..... :ugh: |

The rope wouldn't support the weight of the aircraft, suspended vertically, when the tide went out. Crew were enjoying some Sunday refreshments at the KI Wet Mess. |
Hey 'WN',
I saw a prawn trawler do exactly the same thing in 'Sam's Creek' near Pt Samson, WA in '71...... The silly little men had it tied up 'tight' to the jetty on a 'full tide', and then 'retired' into the very local 'tinny club'....completely unawares that the tide was dropping at an 'alarming' rate, as it does up there, and the heavy fibreglass trawler, (the 'Reliant'), firmly lashed to said jetty, simply pulled the whole jetty into the creek...on top of said trawler...!!! Took them months to raise it, dry it out, rebuild said jetty..... Oh Dear!! So, I can imagine the scene...... Cheers :ouch::ouch: Apols for the 'drift'....if U get my drift...... |

When aircraft was raised, with island police assistance, there was an unlicensed firearm on board. Very sad bunch. Aircraft was small, single engine amphib with engine pod over the fuselage. Maybe a pusher. I forget what they were called. EDIT : Lake Bucaneer |
About a week and a half since that article came out, very curious as to what the full story is behind all this!
