Hit power lines during a forced landing near Blackheath, NSW, on December 21, 1961 caused by engine problems. The location of the wreckage made recovery too difficult and it was pushed off a 300ft cliff. Photo via Ben Dannecker

Crash landed in the Blue Mountains at Blackheath, New South Wales, on December 21, 1961. Its location meant it could not be recovered and VH-CXH was pushed off a cliff. Wreckage still at the bottom of the cliff.

Damaged in storm at Rylestone, NSW, in January 1980. Restored for display at the Powerhouse Museum, Sydney.

VH-DCC crashed near Holbrook, New South Wales, on December 15, 1968. It was rebuilt and restored as VH-ENM in 1974 only to crash again in 1978.

The Yeoman YA1 was a cropduster developed in Australia from CAC CA-6 Wackett trainer. Very little of the Wackett remained in the end. VH-SWC did return to the skies after this photo but was withdrawn from use in 1975. It is believed to be still in existence and of potential benefit to putting a Wackett back in the air. The YA1's wing is metal. Concerns about the Wackett's glued plywood wings had seen their operation restricted in the 1960s.
