I do remember this accident and if I recall correctly, the rego was XAE. It was a Queenair on a night cargo run which encountered icing and went down somewhere around Eildon Weir. I remember seeing a picture of it in the news and the aircraft was reasonably well intact. I heard the pilot died due to being crushed by the cargo behind him (not sure if true or not .. just rumours going around at the flight school I was at).
Just wondering whether the pics of XAE above suggest that it was restored after the crash in the late 80's (89 if I remember correctly)?
