NSW: Wreck location "mistaken", investigators say
Investigators say they mistakenly believed they had discovered the wreck of a plane
on the ocean floor off southern Sydney .. and will now continue the search.
Air safety investigators will use electronic equipment to find the wreckage of a cargo
plane that ditched into the ocean about 11.30pm (AEST) on Wednesday.
The crash almost certainly killed the pilot .. 43-year-old father-of-three JOHN HAMILTON.
The transport safety bureau says police and the navy thought they had located the plane
4.5 nautical miles off Bundeena yesterday.
However .. sonar equipment today revealed they were mistaken.
The twin-engine Metroliner was on a mail run from Sydney to Brisbane.
