Skydiver killed in crash planned trip home
Mr O’Gorman, 34, from Naas in Co Kildare but born in Dublin, was one of five people killed when a seven-seater Cessna 206 aircraft hit a tree on take-off at the Brisbane Skydiving Centre near Ipswich in Queensland and then crashed upside down into a nearby reservoir. Two people, including the founder of the centre, survived.
It was revealed yesterday that Mr O’Gorman, a skydiving instructor, had been planning a trip home to Ireland. According to the chief instructor at the Irish Parachute Club in Co Offaly, Colman Brouder, he had been in contact about a trip home.
