1981, a brutal year for the RFDS WA Section


The RFDS had two nasty PA31 accidents in 1981

VH-KMS in April, in the Kalgoorlie area,

VH-DEE in July at Mt Augustus

The plane from Meeka crashed short of the Mt Augustus airstrip one night while trying to transport one of the Hammerquist kids who had fallen off a mustering wagon and had head injuries. No fatalities all round thank goodness and thank goodness for the flying doc.
