Nice bit of detective work Richard

The guy at the library said the crew were not related , same surname .

Thanks to Jason Stagg of Heyfield, , I have a copy of the official report on this crash .

They didn't find a definite cause of the crash . But they suspect that something jammed the elevator control mechanism . I will upload the report at the library tomorrow, for all to read
