Ah 'DS333" I remember that night well.
If I recall Ted didn't get the prop feathered so really didn't follow std eng fail proc's. The flaps on a Dove are like barn doors & they where left down during the entire sequence if my memory serves me correctly. The gear was a real pain at times to get pulled up.
They where lucky the old Dove stalled at 60 kts or so & with a large lumbering airframe the crash sequence would have been like in slow motion.

As a side note I seem to recall the TV series 'Flying Doctors' had DHD in one of it's shows.
