Undisclosed witness account in Report of Court of Inquiry into Crash of Army Aircraft A-14 702 at RAAF Base Pt Cook Wednesday 7 December 83
Dear Department of Defence,
I am the next of kin of the pilot, my husband Captain David Groves, who died in this crash. I have held a copy of this Report for many years and feel as the 40th anniversary approaches, it is time I had full access to withheld information. I am informed the Series number of the item I seek is J1638. I refer to Annex K which had been withheld from the Report. Many thanks,
Yours faithfully,
Linda Groves
