Mustering choppers crash on Springvale station, Halls Creek

2 mustering helicopters (R22s) crashed on Springvale station, between Halls Creek and Turkey Creek (Warmun), WA; presumably some time before they were due to refuel at 8.30am. Both pilots, in their 30s, died. Troy Wareham was from Alice Springs but apparently based at Yeeda Station (near Derby) and Matthew Funnel was from Wanganui, New Zealand.
