VIC:Crash pilot was a charity volunteer

(Eds: Deleting police as the source of the victims' names)





The Angel Flight charity is in shock after a plane crash in western Victoria that killed
the volunteer pilot and a 15-year-old girl returning home from a medical appointment.

Angel Flight founder and chief executive BILL BRINSTOW says 69-year-old DON KERNOT
was an experienced pilot who'd been involved in 24 missions for the charity.

He'd bought the plane especially to help people in need, like 15-year-old JACINDA TWIGG
who was returning to her Nhill home from a medical appointment in Melbourne.

Her mother survived the crash in a paddock near Horsham last night, but remains in
a critical condition in Royal Melbourne Hospital.
