Was this not Doctor Bartie who died in the Puma when it crashed while landing at the hospital in Oshakhati? The chopper drifted into a fence while hovering, killing all onboard except the pilot. This incident took place at night when the team was doing a casevac run from Ondangwa Air Base. I remember Lieutenant Bartie from my time there, a most delightful man with a large moustache! Perhaps someone could confirm this story?

Yes the person was DR Bartie my own cousin. died in 1981.

I was an eyewitness to this accident.

Cecil George Bartie and his sister Pauline lived accross the street from us when we were at school in Normandie Avenue in Bayswater in Bloemfontein for a number of years. I can still remember the shock when I heard about his death. i can so remember his mom, tannie Alta Bartie and his dad also Cecil. What a guy!! I would so love to have a cup of coffee with his wife to share some of these memories..... I just sat here tonnight and remembered him and thought ... let me google his name.... WOW
