An Astra crashed today shortly after take-off from TFDC at AFB Overberg.

Sadly, the pilot died shortly thereafter in hospital.

While it is too early to speculate on the cause, early reports indicate that  the aircraft rolled after getting airborne.

Condolences to family and friends.

They shall grow not old
As we that are left grow old
Age shall not weary them
Nor the years condemn
At the going down of the sun
And in the morning -
we will remember them
