News Update: Arnhem Land Search |
|
Friday, 14 November 2008 |
MAF pilot Hadleigh Smith, with GA8 VH-WRT, went missing on 16 October and is believed to have crashed into the sea enroute from Elcho Island to Matamata in Arnhem Land.
During the last week a police vessel and divers have not been able to relocate the wreckage which was earlier thought to have been located in Buckingham Bay. The police vessel has now returned to Darwin, however MAF and the Marthakal community (in which Hadleigh was based) are planning to continue searching using external salvage expertise and equipment. The plan is for salvage experts to make a final comprehensive search of the sea bed in all the areas where the wreckage may be. We remain anxious to locate Hadleigh and VH-WRT, both for closure of this painful period and to help us understand the cause of the tragedy.
Please continue to pray that we find Hadleigh, pray for the Smith family, the Marthakal community and affected MAF staff.
