Rudge Air Accident 1993?

Hi All,

Am doing a bit of research on this accident, and have the BASI report, but I'm looking for something more.

Witnesses, someone who knows someone, anything to bring a bit more of a personal side to the accident.

I realise this may bring some bad memories to light, but I'd appreciate any help.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Gotta date and Rego. I recollect a Dove sitting on the roof of a house. Looked interesting. I think pax were hurt but OK. Great job done by the pilot. Seem to recall lost an engine due fuel pump failure. Not sure tho as it was a while ago!! What are you looking for?

Thanks Hiball & DesertFlower.

I've got the photo of the aircraft on the house, and the BASI report goes into fine (very fine!) detail about a spindle in the fuel pump or something. A JPG photo of the aircraft before would be greatly appreciated.

I met the flight attendant (dinner hostess) who was on the flight a while back and, being a wannabe writer (don't we all?), thought it would make a good aviation/human interest story. So I'm looking for that 'first-person' connection.

Cheers
