No one seemed perturbed and everyone went home intact. VH-UEF was not to see the year out when it plunged into the ground near Ballarat, Victoria, on October 31.

VH-MUJ had the distinction of being the lowest-powered aircraft in the London-Sydney race with its 100hp Continental O-200. Withdrawn from use in 1974, it would re-emerge earmarked for conversion to the Millicer M10-140, a modernised Airtourer with a 140hp Lycoming O-320.The aircraft owner, Lorraine MacGillivray, said some work had been carried out on the fuselage but at the time of uploading -MUJ was dismantled, its fuselage stripped and primed and for sale along with a spare wing.
