If anyone has any details, particularly any crash investigation report on the circumstances and its exact location please could you help? Sgt Dermot Edgar died when his aircraft broke up in the air. The Sandstone Ridge Trust Can You Help?, posted the following on 6 April. Knowing my fellow forum members, I feel someone has the information to help. Thanks.
