PRACHUAP KHIRI KHAN: International aviation authorities have joined the administration’s efforts to study the officers plane’s black container after it crashed into the water near Hua Hin late last month, killing six soldiers.

The black box, which was discovered to be in good condition, will be examined by forensic experts from Canadian aircraft manufacturer De Havilland Aircraft of Canada ( DHC), according to Hua Hin Police, according to police lieutenant Colonel Naruepanart Assadinyadech of Hua Hin Police. &nbsp,

By Friday, officials are attempting to maneuver the aircraft into temporary store at Naresuan Camp. The Royal Thai Police Aviation Division in Bangkok will receive the shipwreck on Saturday for further research.

A Twin Otter DHC-6-400, which had been in company since 2020, was the aeroplane involved in the April 25 collision. It was one of three Baby Animals that the officers used for cargo transportation, tokens, and search and rescue operations. The aircraft can get off from shorter runways and can hold up to 19 passengers.
