Sadly , news reports are stating 2 deaths now .. I sincerely hope that is not the case ..
edit : The Defence Force is now saying that the 2 deaths were the result of two seperate incidents , one as a result of the aforementioned Chinook crash , sadly the second as a result of a shooting by an Afghan Army person .. R.I.P. both .. Dave C Last edited by David C; 31st May 2011 at 08:52 AM. Reason: additional nfo |

The LT killed in the Chinook crash was actually a Black Hawk pilot who had just been detached to the 5 Flight Heron UAV unit at Kandahar, and was on a famil flight of the area when it crashed.
