The subject accident aircraft (as reported) has had, what would seem, a jinxed life. It is the same aircraft that crash landed at Channel 10 in Perth a few years back (the young pilot ran it out of fuel), requiring a complete rebuild in New Zealand, as well as accidents elsewhere throughout its life. It's sister ship (VH-FUX) crashed in the Victorian Alps also due to engine failure (icing of engine intake), fatally injuring the experiened pilot and passengers. Let's hope this is its last accident and the pilot makes a full and complete recovery.
