Anyone heard any sensible rumours about 'probable cause' of that tragedy up NW of WA ?

Is that the Baron that crashed just short of Kununurra?

Been some talk of a battery fire in a laptop

The A.S.T.B. in their page that the pilot reported a fire onboard before the crash, so you might be right.

Food for thought. I've heard - anecdotally - that the few (?) batteries - fires on aircraft have been phones, jammed and squished in pax seat mechanism.

Wonder if this one is... a convenional laptop, or a 'Tablet', y'know, the "Favourite Brand", with all the flight & Nav stuff loaded thereon.[bigsad]
