Aircraft Ditched Offshore After Dual Engine Failure (VH-BAB)

Incident Overview During a cruise along the shore, the aircraft's left engine failed. Shortly afterward, the right engine also lost power and failed. In response to the dual engine failure, the pilot reduced altitude and ditched the aircraft approximately 10 miles south of Swansea. All eleven occupants moved to the wings for refuge. A fishing boat crew rescued them while the aircraft sank and was lost. The official investigation identified double engine failure as the probable cause. No specific aircraft type, registration, operator, date, or location beyond the described area was provided in the source.
