Taken at Rose Bay in 2004 when Seaplane Safaris were owner/operator.

One day at Cottage Point on the pontoon there, the R/H pilot door came off its hinge pegs and fell into the murky waters of Cowan Creek. Scuba diver recovered same the next day. (Not a case of a hinge failing in any sense, but anyone who knows Beavers knows that the small front doors swing on two sturdy 5 mm steel pegs. Each of those pegs have small holes drilled in the top ends, each to take a securing pin. That day VH-NOO lacked those barely noticeable pins.)
