VH-CRB was badly damaged in a storm at Bankstown airport in 1977. The photograph shows it after it was rebuilt and fitted with dropping wingtips to improve low-speed handling. It returned to the register July 1983 but was destroyed at Rylstone, New South Wales, on February 16, 1985. It failed to climb after take-off and finally spun in about one kilometre from the airstrip. This photo is copyright © David Carter, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
