Search for missing Bardot quartet continues despite deaths risk
NSW Minister Freeth refused to reverse the RAAF decision to abandon the search for four men missing from the 24 foot Bardot off the NSW South Coast. Keith Doyle, NSW MLA and brother of one missing man, condemned the move as deadly and urged use of Nowra naval aircraft for extended long-range reconnaissance. The Bardot, a fibreglass sloop, sailed Boxing Day from Sydney toward Merimbula with Peter Doyle, Stuart Parker and son Mark, 14, aboard. A private flight and RAAF joins followed as a critical area sweep faced huge whitecaps and limited visibility. Alderman Fieli of Cooma pledged municipal support to extending the search.
