Body of SAAF member found

Thu, 14 May 2009 12:00

The body of one of the SA Air Force members killed when their helicopter crashed was found on Wednesday, KwaZulu-Natal police said.

Director Phindile Radebe said the three died when their Agusta A109 helicopter crashed into a dam in the upper Tugela area on Tuesday.

"We have found one body so far and the wreckage. Police divers and SA National Defence Force divers are still busy searching for the other two," she said.

The accident happened during a training flight to Dragons Peak Park in KwaZulu-Natal. The helicopter plunged into Woodstock Dam and sank.
