HF radio Mayday from yacht on behalf of downed C172 in Tasmania
« on: December 29, 2014, 05:30:22 PM »
A bit different type of clip, this is a recording of the Mayday made on behalf of a C-172, VH-PFT, that ditched in the ocean near the Sydney to Hobart yacht race.  This broadcast was made on HF radio by a yacht that witnessed the crash:

A number of yachts were diverted to the scene, and an oil slick was found, unfortunately no sign of the fuselage or the two occupants.
