So the aircraft hit powerlines and "sparked " a mid air emergency ... I dare say it would . Pretty big sparks too I guess .. .... Just my weird sense of humour at work again ..

They state hitting power lines just after take-off. Would this be fromWilly or Coffs? rather a long way to go from Willy to Coffs if you've just hit a powerline. Even with circling out over the ocean.

I believe it may have happened 25 miles to the east of Armidale NSW...
Thanks |

Having flown that country you describe Patrick (east of Armidale), while doing low level survey, I can confirm there is a valley around there that has high tension power lines crossing it at a great height from the bottom of the valley.
They would be quite easy to hit if unaware of them and doing low level sorties like the guys in the Hawk's do. Chris |
