A very sad day down under today,we have lost five Air New Zealand staff, a pilot, three engineers.an airworthiness inspector,this also falls on the exact day of the Mt Erebus crash,that happened here about 29yrs ago.

The plane was leased to Germany, and crashed off the coast of France, it was going to return to NZ after this flight i believe.

Spare a thought for the families of these men,very sad day indeed.
