Death of Rescue Pilot

[JimJ]

A local helicopter pilot who rescued a Canadian couple from a yacht during a cyclone off Townsville Queensland in 1997 died in a helicopter accident near Brisbane on Wednesday.

It may not be of interest to many forumites but would be of interest to those people and their friends Peter rescued.
