Western NSW Airlines MU2 crash Bathurst 1990?

Both Aviation Safety Net and the so called Bureau of Aircraft Accident Archives have details (copied each other?) of a fatal accident to a Western NSW Airlines MU2 VH-WMU at Barthurst, NSW on 7 November 1990 (or perhaps 1989?). Crashed on approach in fog, killing the pilot. Flight from Bankstown with bank documents. However, neither the ATSB or Safety Reporting apparently have any record of such an accident. Assuming this aircraft did crash, does any one have a copy of the accident report or any additional details re the circumstances, press reports etc. If it didn't crash what happened to VH-WMU?

Also another MU2. In 1990 Transexecutive MU2 VH-UZD was damaged in a wind storm (with hail?) 'at Brisbane'. Can anyone provide the date of the storm, other aircraft damaged etc? The MU2 was later sold to Turbine Aircraft Marketing Inc as N513NA but apparently didn't fly again and was broken up.
