Light plane crashes in Allenview

I had a quick listen to the archives of the Brisbane Airport ATC and luckily you can't hear the mayday call, which means that the news won't be able to get their hands all over it.

Pretty chilling to hear the controllers asking the aircraft to repeat their mayday call though, and then ask other planes in the area whether they'd heard it too.

Here's a quick transcript of what can be heard:

ATC: "Mayday Aircraft, this is Brisbane Centre - Advise your position"

ATC: "Aircraft calling Centre with the mayday, go ahead"

ATC: (to a nearby plane) did you copy that, uh, aircraft call?

Nearby Plane: "We copied the call, uh, no details after mayday"

ATC: "Same here, thank you."

ATC: "All stations, if you could, monitor 121.5 and advise if anything is heard, thanks"

ATC: FD447, could you listen out on 121.5 if you're not already, and report anything heard

FD447 : Wilco

ATC: (unintelligible).... hear the clipped mayday call?*

Sounds like they tried to make a make a mayday call but were too late :(
