Yes i know the pilot but have not seen him for some years. he flew for aeropelican. the aircraft was in transit from pelican to bankstown via the lane and developed partial loss of power, the pilot (TT) elected to land on the fairway of the golf course but had to do a quick go around due to too many people where he needed to put down. on finals the engine quit and they took out a TV aerial on the house and dropped short into the chain link fence. Great outcome. there were two others on board. It was a cessna pretty sure a 182. was fuel related but NOT exhaustion. still fuel in tanks

Close,
It was a C182, VH- KDW, it was enroute Melbourne ( maybe Falls creek)? to Aeropelican, it was fuel exhaustion.
I still have a newspaper article, with photo's that I will try and post when I find it. Their were 4 on board.
The pilot went onto QLink then Dragon where he is now.(HongKong)
