WA: Tears and tributes at WA memorial to fallen Sea King crew
The nine men and women killed in Saturday's Sea King helicopter crash have been honoured
during a memorial service at Perth's Pearce RAAF base.
Nine uniform hats hung on rifles embedded in the ground to symbolise the nine crew
who died when their helicopter plunged to the ground on the Indonesian island of Nias
during a humanitarian aid mission.
Hundreds of friends, family and colleagues attended the service, which was held in
the forecourt of the medical centre where one of those killed, Squadron Leader PAUL MCCARTHY,
was based.
Squadron Leader MCCARTHY has been described as a courageous, good natured man and a
highly skilled doctor.
