We’re learning more about the ADF personnel missing after a helicopter crash off the coast of Queensland. Troop commander Captain Dan Lyon and Lieutenant Max Nugent were piloting the flight which went down during training mission Talisman Sabre late Friday. Also onboard were senior loadmasters, Warrant Officer Joseph Laycock and Corporal Alex Naggs. Speculation is growing over whether the army will continue using Taipan helicopters which are currently grounded and have been prone to problems in the past.
