Owner/pilot Roy Turner was touring on holiday with his wife and two young children. The aircraft went missing, last seen heading towards the Mount Cook area. Due to cloud at around 9,000 feet, conditions were unsuitable for VFR across the Southern Alps. I was an eyewitness to this tragedy in the Alps I welcome any inquiries from concerned individuals interested in forming a search party/expedition. Please contact me at email wallycoffey@yahoo.com /
