VH-AAH crashed short of YWOL (then known as Albion Park airport) after a training exercise went wrong. The starboard prop would not unfeather after the engine was deliberately shutdown. The aircraft was not able to maintain altitude on one engine while on a regular freight flight.

Photo shows the long loader needed to reach the hopper of the Bristol.

Annoying children to their best to spoil the photo of the cropdusting Bristol. It was a short-lived experiment and -AAH returned to freight work.

VH-AAH being loaded with superphosphate. Aircraft was fitted with a top-loading installation for agricultural cropdusting, but it proved too big for Australia and was soon returned to regular freighter configuration.

VH-AAH crashed at Albion Park, NSW, on December 19, 1961. The former Air Vietnam aircraft had been in Australia since 1957. Photo taken by the late Bob Kensett. Scanned from the negative.
