[B]VH-UNC Beagle 206 Airfast Charter ex Helicopter Utilities[B]
I was Airfast's weekend Aztec driver at the time, and was hanging out for an endorsement on the big Pom tank. Luckily, I didn't get near it !!
The Beagle suffered a blown pot on the LH (?) engine on t/o from 32L at Jacksons in about late 1968 or early 1969. It went off the end and through the cattle yards on the DASF animal research station which used to be there..Moitaka??
I think it was written off? No injuries that I remember - just wounded egos. PIC was much older than myself...he also flew choppers, and I think served with the RAAF on Mustangs in Korea.
happy days,
