JOHANNESBURG -- Civil Aviation Authority inspectors retrieved the voice recorder yesterday from the mountain crash site of the Hawker Sidley 748 in which former South African cricket captain Hansie Cronje and two others died on Saturday.
The recorder has already been handed over to Civil Aviation authorities, who see it as a valuable part of their investigation into the cause of the crash, he said.
According to AirQuarius managing director Gavin Branson, both the pilot and co-pilot were experienced flight instructors.
South Africa's Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) yesterday denied claims that former cricket captain Hansie Cronje, who died in a plane accident last year, had in fact been murdered.
Cronje died along with the two pilots when the cargo plane he was travelling in crashed shortly before landing at George airport.
He was known to have an arrangement where he travelled for free on AirQuarius, rather than take up an offer from his employers to take a commercial flight back to his wife in George, some 430 kilometres east of Cape Town.
