VH-HRE crashed at Jabiru, North Territory, on June 13, 1997. The Port Melbourne helipad was part of the CAC/Hawker de Havilland aircraft factory complex. It was removed when a large part of the site was sold for redevelopment about 1997. CAC's Fishermans Bend aerodrome was part of the same factory. It closed in 1957. Mike Madden photo.
