Plane found, no survivors... :( RIP.

Correct me if I am wrong, but the deceased were the owners of Dawson's Smash repairs and Des Porter Automotive at Tingalpa???

Dawson's did excellent panel work, including a number of show cars over the years.

Are they also part of the same Porter family who owned the Porters dam area (now minippi parklands and the porter field model aero club)???
