Death Record
Cause of Death
Killed in action, at Oshakati after Operation Protea, crashed whilst bringing in casualties at night, in Aerospatiale SA330L Puma C #174. It is said that Lamprecht was disorientated and guided the pilot incorrectly, thus the tail rotor caught in a barb-wire fence. Sgt Lamprecht (Flight Engineer), the co-pilot, Lt D O'Connor, several medics and a doctor as well as the casualty, tragically died. Only the pilot survived
