the crash was a very sad day . paul daw , who was a former klm airline pilot , returned to adelaide in the late 90’s . he conducted the majority of my cpl training and all of my instrument rating training . he was a phenomenal teacher who dedicated his entire life to aviation . students used to flock to him because of his experience , his charisma and his stick and rudder skills . he’ll be missed as will the other two who were in the crash . i wish rossair well .

the company’s chief pilot martin scott , experienced pilot paul daw , who was undergoing a check flight , and a representative from the civil aviation safety authority ( casa ) stephen guerin , were killed in the accident . there were no survivors .
“it soon emerged through this partnership that there are natural operational , financial and fleet synergies and new opportunities in this market from essentially combining the skillsets of two iconic operators from two separate state markets , ” moloney said .
“certainly , the sa market will now have an unprecedented and competitive choice of fleet within this enlarged operation . ”
the australian transport safety bureau ( atsb ) said in its preliminary report into the accident published on june 30 an examination of the wreckage and surround ground markings indicated the cessna conquest vh - xmj hit the ground in an “almost vertical nose - down attitude” .
© 2018 - aviator media pty ltd . all right reserved . designed and developed by unique media
the plane , a nine - seater cessna conquest with the registration vh - xmj , was travelling between adelaide and the riverland .
casa said mr guerin had worked with the authority since 2008 as a flying operations inspector , and at times acted as a team leader — prior to that he was a pilot for a number of aviation operators .
mr carmody said mr guerin , who was sitting behind the pilot and check pilot at the time of the accident , was popular and
a very highly regarded pilot , a fine inspector and meticulous as a regulator
.
we know this was a check and training flight , these are routine activities that are conducted where pilots are being checked by other pilots , routine in australia , routine around the world but clearly something went wrong , there was a tragedy .
this [ accident ] is terribly surprising . as these things go , you have three very experienced pilots on board so something significant occurred and it will be important for us to work out this it is .
martin scott ( left ) was an experienced pilot and paul daw was retraining at the time they both died in the plane crash .
he said the company had
never had a major issue or incident
but could not comment on the possible cause of the crash . he said the business had
voluntarily grounded our operations
and was co - operating with investigators .
the company and all our staff have been profoundly impacted by this tragedy .
our thoughts and prayers are with the families , friends and colleagues of the deceased .
paul exuded aviation - he was a complete enthusiast ,
mr blake said .
paul was a very big family man and family was very important in his life .
he never let anybody down , he was always there for people and that is i think one of the biggest epitaphs i can offer .
the wreckage was found in scrubland about four kilometres west of renmark airport just after nightfall .
major crash investigators from adelaide arrived at the scene last night , and an australian transport safety bureau ( atsb ) team during this afternoon .
atsb ' s neville blythe said early information suggested the plane did not explode on impact , and that was expected to be a big help for investigators .
we do understand there hasn ' t been a post impact fire , which is very good from an investigation point of view ,
he said .
it doesn ' t destroy evidence and that type of thing so we will be again taking our time to forensically go through everything in relation to the aircraft .
the atsb is also calling for any witnesses who were in the area about 4 : 00pm yesterday .
a local anglican priest at renmark , paul devenport , said he saw the plane flying over the east of renmark moments before the crash .
i couldn ' t see it totally but i could see it behind the trees , it was going quite low ,
he said .

during rail movement of a high volume railway gondola car , uneven track , truck hunting and shifting cargo bulk can cause severe end - to - end torsional deflection and bulging of the car walls as well as warping or sagging of the center portions of the car . because of the oscillatory character and structural interdependence of these types of car flexure , one tends to exaggerate or accentuate the destructive character of the other , thus promoting premature fatique and inhibiting the high speed roadability of the car .

thus , chicago heights plant is not part of the merger agreement in which trinity will pay approximately $ 165 million in cash and issue 7 . 15 million shares of its common stock to the shareholders of thrall . the agreement also calls for trinity to make additional payments , not to exceed $ 45 million over five years , based on a formula related to annual railcar industry production levels . trinity currently has 37 million shares outstanding .
it is customary to load , and for railroads to move , a number of such cars in groups hitched together end - to - end and , after arrival at a distribution center , for the group of cars to be unloaded simultaneously . when a group of cars is loaded simultaneously , they enter at one end and are driven forward as far as possible to a tie down position on one of the cars . this is called circus loading . to make such loading possible the distance between adjoining car ends must be spanned by removable bridge plates at the car floor level and at each deck level . the bridge plates support the vehicle wheels as the vehicles roll from one railroad car to the next .
to arrest and limit deliterious end and side wall flexure , the invention provides a car bracing system including a plurality of laterally longitudinally downwardly convergent bracing members which couple the corner caps 11 and upper portions 13 of the side walls 9 to the car floor 12 and center sill 5 along the centerline of the car . specifically , rigid elongated end braces or members 14 and 15 are provided at each end of the car to arrest relative movement between the corner caps 11 and the minimum flexure points of the car body located immediately above the center bearing assemblies . as shown in figs . 3 and 5 , the upper end sections 16 and 17 of the end braces 14 and 15 are welded or otherwise appropriately secured to cap attachment flanges 18 depending from the caps 11 , and the lower end sections 20 and 21 of the end braces 14 and 15 are similarly coupled to the floor 12 , bolster 4 and center sill 5 by the coupling bracket 22 upstanding therefrom . to arrest bulging and thus sagging and to further resist end - to - end twisting of the car body , intermediate braces 23 and 24 are provided . the upper ends or sections of the braces 23 and 24 are coupled to the side walls by wall attachment brackets 25 such as illustrated in fig . 4 and the lower ends or sections of the braces 23 and 24 are secured to the floor 12 and center sill 5 by upstanding coupling brackets 26 by welding or other appropriate means .

he said the relatively high labor costs in the u . s . hurt american rail car plants . the total labor cost for a greenville worker is about $ 20 an hour compared to $ 20 a day at a comparable mexican plant , he said .
but another factor that damaged greenville was a sharp drop in orders . last year , 76 , 000 cars were delivered in north america by the rail car industry , a feverish pace in recent years , compared to an estimated 50 , 000 this year .
stoller et al u . s . pat . no . 4 , 437 , 410 discloses an auto rack railroad car with a closure at each end to prevent vandalism and thievery . each closure comprises two door assemblies which move horizontally to open and close the car end . the door assemblies are movably supported by a horizontal support member mounted on the front end or edge of the uppermost of two elevated decks . mounted on the top of both decks , adjacent the front end , is a bridge plate attaching means which constitutes a ridge over which vehicles must be driven in loading and unloading the cars . because there is very little clearance between the vehicle roof tops and the railroad car roof top or a deck , the ridge causes vehicles to bump and spring higher . this causes the vehicle roofs to hit the railroad car roof or deck and damage the automobile with significant economic loss . there is thus a need for alternative structural arrangements which permit removable attachment of bridge plates to railroad cars with elimination of the present described bump - inducing ridges .
wabash national corp . creates wabash wood products . to accommodate the growing company’s trailer flooring needs , and to better streamline operations through vertical integration , wabash national corp . acquires cloud corp . and cloud oak flooring co . , inc . , manufacturers of laminated hardwood floors for the truck body and trailer industries . based in harrison , ark . , the business is renamed wabash wood products .
it is to be understood that the ends of deck 130 have two pair of bridge plate support stub tubes 100 which are so positioned to support a pair of bridge plates 120 spaced apart so as to be centered with respect to the average tread width of vehicles transported by the railroad car .

wpp announces that xm asia , a division of wpp’s wholly - owned operating company , jwt , the global communications group , has entered into an agreement to acquire a stake in magnivate , a leading digital agency in indonesia . completion of the acquisition is subject to fulfillment of certain conditions .
a self - professed micro - manager , sorrell uncharacteristically left his asia - pacific staff to their own devices . young , who is widely tipped to become sorrell ' s eventual successor , lists the milestones for ogilvy in asia :
we introduced the account planning discipline back in 1995 . we brought in professional direct marketing . and we entered the new generation of developing markets such as vietnam , bangladesh , pakistan , and indonesia . that was 10 to 15 years ago . if you ask why wpp is twice the size of omnicom , it is because of all of those things .

founded in 2008 and based in jakarta , magnivate ' s offering includes digital strategy , social media communications strategy , rich media , online advertising , search marketing and e - marketing . the agency employs 95 people and clients include danone , frisian flag , samsung and unilever .
magnivate’s unaudited revenues for the year ended 31 december 2011 were approximately idr 16 billion , with gross assets at the same date at approximately idr 7 billion .
this investment continues wpp’s strategy of developing its services in fast - growing and important markets and sectors . wpp ' s businesses in the asia pacific region now generate revenues of over $ 4 billion ( including associates ) and employ approximately 42 , 000 people , compared with analysts’ estimates of group revenues of over $ 19 billion ( including associates ) and total employees of over 150 , 000 .
at 25 , wpp is still characterised by the restlessness of its founder , sir martin sorrell - and nowhere is this more apparent than in asia - pacific . the company is today arguably the most ' asian ' of the holding companies , dwarfing its nearest rival , omnicom , thanks to sorrell ' s relentless pursuit of growth in developing markets . although noted in the west for his pessimism , sorrell is eternally bullish on the network ' s prospects in this region .
as the group was assembled , heavy investments were made in asia where markets were growing fastest ,
observes joseph l . bower , baker foundation professor of business administration at harvard business school .
but sorrell readily admits that luck has also played a major role in wpp ' s asia success . it all began with the purchase of jwt back in 1987 , two years after the former saatchi & saatchi cfo had acquired the shopping basket maker wire & plastic products , which would fittingly serve as a receptacle for his future acquisitions . the us $ 566 million purchase of the american giant ( the first ever hostile takeover of an advertising agency ) was not only a coup within the us ; it also gave sorrell a significant head start in asia . founded in 1864 , jwt was one of the few networks with offices in the region , largely due to its relationship with unilever : it had opened for business in china in 1986 , and was already firmly established in india , japan and singapore .
gaining momentum , sorrell ' s company then acquired ogilvy - in an equally hostile manner - for $ 864 million . again , the agency had a footing in the region , having been operational in china since 1979 , and india since 1928 . by the end of the 1980s , wpp was itself an established presence in the east . in 1989 , the same year as the ogilvy takeover , wpp held its first board meeting , in china - an unusual move for a western firm at that time and indicative of what was to prove an enduring passion for the market from sorrell .
nonetheless , difficult times lay ahead . when the gulf war caused advertising to plummet globally , so did wpp ' s stock price . in the early 1990s , the company was on the verge of bankruptcy . but it regained momentum , thanks in no small part to the relative buoyancy of its asian operations , which were beginning to pay off . in hong kong , two transplants from the west arrived : in 1994 , tom doctoroff , now jwt ' s regional area director and greater china ceo , came in from jwt chicago as regional business director ; the following year , miles young arrived from ogilvy & mather direct in london to take on the role of asia - pacific chairman .
in parallel to the establishment of groupm , sorrell also resumed his acquisitive streak on the creative agency side . with a fortified stock price , wpp strengthened its position in japan with a 20 per cent stake in asatsu - dk ( adk ) , the market ' s third largest agency . sorrell describes the deal as one of his
most memorable
, representing a major step forward in a notoriously difficult market . the partnership later resulted in the opening of mindshare japan , among other joint ventures . wpp was also making inroads in korea , having taken majority stakes in lg ad ( later renamed hs ad ) and in diamond ad through ogilvy - although young admits that market has been particularly challenging given the influence of chaebol conglomerates .
regionally , few were surprised when wpp landed young and rubicam group for $ 4 . 7 billion in 2000 . two years later , in 2003 , the company bought bates worldwide , absorbing the bulk of its offices and spinning off an independent asian network , bates 141 . this was followed by the 2005 purchase of grey global group .
wpp ' s stable of above - the - line agencies was beginning to resemble its media buying side . the first major pitch under the new structure was for hsbc in 2004 , which saw wpp leverage its strong profile in asia to win against omnicom . the pitch was the first in which asia played a disproportionately larger role than the west , and alerted omnicom to the need for greater investment in the region .
it wasn ' t until the hsbc pitch that i was struck by the power wpp offers ,
states doctoroff .
yet certain acquisitions have been more fruitful than others . the year 1997 also saw the purchase of batey , which , though a landmark at the time , sorrell admits was extremely difficult to bed down due to a clash of personality with founder ian batey , whom he describes as
one of the toughest characters i ' ve met
. under wpp , the agency in 2007 lost its 35 - year hold on singapore airlines , for which it had created the iconic ' singapore girl ' decades before . in 2007 the carrier dropped all wpp agencies from its pitch roster in a public snub , later moving to omnicom .
a year earlier , omnicom also benefited from wpp ' s high profile split from chinese agency citic guoan . citic switched allegiance after a 14 - year joint venture partnership with grey after a row between sorrell and vice - chairman yan gang , who publicly declared that the wpp boss had
no manners , upbringing or culture
.
but despite the inevitable conflicts , young says sorrell appears much more at ease in asia than his counterparts at rival holding companies , and that he has put in the
long hours
needed to build strong relationships . notably , he has served as something of an advisor to the chinese government , with wpp helping steer the state through the milk powder scandals and darfur controversy of 2008 . the company ' s localised approach in china gives it an edge over rivals , facilitating the long list of acquisitions made in recent years . these include marketing services company star echo , and digital firms hdt holdings technologies and evision to name a few . sorrell claims wpp is close to reaching its target of $ 1 billion in revenue across greater china .
unsurprisingly , india also remains a priority . the market contributed around 3 . 5 per cent to wpp ' s revenues last year , a figure sorrell expects to rise to 5 per cent in 2010 . the company holds a strong position in india thanks to ogilvy and a recent joint venture deal between mediacom and local agency madison , which owns a 51 per cent stake in the groupm shop . sorrell states further india acquisitions are on the cards this year .
meanwhile , across the region , sorrell ' s commitment to below - the - line shows no sign of abating . in addition to the purchase of taylor nelson sofres ( tns ) , the past few years have seen wpp spend more than $ 1 billion bolstering its digital line - up , which now includes leading asian agency agenda . the company was courted by both publicis and omnicom but elected to sell to wpp through wunderman for a perceived higher level of independence . this enabled wunderman to expand its asian footprint by 40 per cent . the unbending pursuit of startups over the past decade has seen wpp ' s list of asian companies develop into a marketer ' s yellow pages .
looking back over a dramatic quarter of a century , sorrell has one characteristic regret .
did i think i would be sitting here with $ 14 billion in market cap ?
he asks rhetorically .
the answer is no . but from a corporate point of view you always feel you didn ' t move quickly enough . if you have something good , you tend to think you should have got more of it .
