'Propliner' is actually short for 'Proper airliner, with big rumbly radials'

A bit sad. I know the pilot involved. Now we start the long wait for the accident report to be released.

I've watched; "Worlds Greatest Motorcycle Rides", (Travel Channel), in the South Island, including a 'Copter Tour around the Glacier, where it looks extremely cold!....

..and I wonder what the temperature gradient is, between the coastal roads and the actual Glacier itself?

...remembering that I hate anywhere where its bloody..."COLD"...!

Paul....Winter-time in England now!... :( ...!

Very sad indeed , but , as Nick said , we just have to wait for the final report.
I really feel for the families of all of them.
