Safety history
- December 29, 1948AccidentHull loss
The crew (two pilots and one stewardess) was positioning from Launceston to Melbourne. On approach to Essendon, poor weather conditions forced ATC to close the airport to all trafic and VH-UZJ was diverted to Mangalore Airport. On approach, the aircraft was too low, crashed in a field and broke in two. All three crew members were injured and the aircraft was written off. Probable cause (official findings): Poor judgement on part of the pilot who continued the approach at an unsafe altitude.
