There were 2 such incidents at Hazelton....the first at Cudal circa 1971...was unsuccesful...the Aircraft was VH-RIX...The second event was resolved with better results and with the knowledge gained from the earlier incident...and this was achieved at Spring Hill Airport Orange...because the runway was longer allowing more time to position the rope weilding vehicles correctly....the Rego and the date of this later event escapes me as I had moved on at that stage.
