martinc Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Warbird enthusiast named as crash victim June 1, 2008 - 12:18PM Source: ABC The Australian Warbirds Association has confirmed that one of its members was killed in a plane crash on the New South Wales south coast on Saturday. Graeme Camage, 54, was performing aerobatics in a small ex-military plane when he lost control and crashed on a beach near Moruya. The association says Mr Camage was a long time member and was an importer of the Nanchang plane that he was flying. Association president Stephen Crocker says members are extremely saddened by the incident. "He was one of the early members of the association and helped build it to what it is today and was a keen supporter and flyer of the aircraft," he said. The association says it will provide assistance to the family and investigating authorities. Police say Mr Camage was an experienced pilot and it is not clear why the plane crashed. He was the only person on board and died from injuries at the scene. Investigations into the cause of the crash are continuing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
