Safety history

February 28, 1951Accident
The aircraft with two commercial licensed pilots as sole occupants took off from Baragwanath Airfield for the purpose of pilot familiarization on with the aircraft. After a short period of single-engined flying with the star board propeller feathered, two landings and take-offs were performed successfully.
De Havilland DH.104 Dove
The probable cause of the accident was failure of the port engine caused by the vibration damper bolt partially unscrewing from the roller until the rear damper ring was operating on the bolt shank which eventually failed under excessive loading. Full accident record
