Reports a chopper has gone missing between Breeza near Tamworth and Mona Vale, on Sydney's northern beaches. Apparently it departed on Saturday and never arrived at its destination. 3 POB.

Staggered no SARtime, crazy stuff given the Barrington tops are enroute. Owner and presumed PIC had their licence suspended by CASA a few years back.

Going by PPQs track, they may have found something.

Edit- now resumed normal pattern, must have been nothing.

Wreckage has been found just south of Cessnock in the Watagans National Park, and it's confirmed that all 3 occupants are deceased.
