One of 200 CA-6 trainers built by CAC, bought as war surplus for £20 in 1946 after RAAF service as A3-139. In January 1962 its owner was flying from Melbourne to Perth when compass malfunction took hime well off course on the leg between Caduna and Cook, SA. He landed in the desert low on fuel. A 19-day search failed to locate the pilot, his remains never being found. The aircraft was not located until spotted by an Adastra survey Hudson in 1965, messages scratched into the fuselage paintwork. The aircraft was recovered in 1977 and restored in 1981

Seen here in its later years when used by Kingsford Smith Aviation Services for flight testing changes to the Wackett airframe in the development of a cropduster version. That would appear as the Cropmaster. VH-AJB was withdrawn from use in 1962. Photo from Tom Singfield Collection.

VH-BEC force-landed in the desert 135km from Maralinga, South Australia, on January 14, 1962. Despite an extensive search, its fate remained a mystery until three years later when the crew of an Adastra Hudson spotted it. The aircraft was intact but 40 degrees off course. No trace of the pilot was found. In 1977 -BEC was recovered and restored as a static display.

Photo taken soon after being withdrawn from use. Fell derelict, parts were stolen and in a final insult, was wrecked by vandals while waiting to be removed by its new owner in 1976. Rejoined the register in 2000 as VH-WKT. It remains a restoration project using metal Yeoman Cropmaster wings in place of the original wooden wings wrecked by vandals in 1976.
