VH-KIB crashed at Mount Sorrell, Tasmania, on May 30, 1979. The aircraft slammed into trees while trying to climb. Remarkably, all three on board survived with only minor injuries. They were winched out because of the inaccessible terrain but not before a chainsaw was lowered so they could clear the way. Presumably, -KIB is still there.
