VH-KKL crashed at Cobbitty, on Sydney's south-western outskirts, on June 30, 1977. All three on board died when the aircraft dived into ground after pilot suffered a heart attack. It appears the backseat passenger tried unsuccessfully to fly the aircraft. Despite the severe damage, 22 years later it returned to the register as VH-AUM.
