Fed: Father of dead pilot has taken ill, wife

The father of an Australian-born air force navigator killed in Iraq early yesterday
has collapsed at home.

Victorian RAF Flight Lieutenant PAUL PARDOEL, who was 35, was on board a British Royal
Air Force C-130 Hercules aircraft that crashed north-west of Baghdad.

His mother MARGARET PARDOEL says she and her husband JOHN endured a difficult night

in their home in the Melbourne suburb of Boronia last night.

And she says Mr PARDOEL became ill this morning, falling from his chair.

Mrs PARDOEL says they're waiting for the doctor, and has asked the media to leave them
alone for the rest of the day.
