This program tells the poignant story of a popular young police officer widely described as one of the 'best and brightest' in the Queensland Force. Sally Urquhart was one of 15 people killed four years ago when a plane crashed at Lockhart River in a remote region of Far North Queensland. It was categorised as the worst airline disaster in Australia for nearly forty years. At the time of her death Sally Urquhart was engaged to a police colleague also serving in the Far North. In a call to her mother just before the flight, Sally talked about the upcoming wedding and described her fear of getting on the plane. "I just hate it... it rattles" she said. Sally's father Shane is a primary school principal, with no expertise of any kind in aviation. But when official investigations into the crash left questions unanswered, he set out on a single minded mission that took him to the most powerful forums in the land - with consequences for everyone in regional Australia and beyond.
