A correction to post #30 here. It was VH-WRG that broke up in flight, not VH-GBC. It may not have any relevance, but it was noted some five years prior to the accident, by a cloud seeding officer at Cobar, that the left horizontal tailplane, when viewed from the rear along the extended centreline of the fuselage, appeared to have about ten degrees anhedral, instead of being dead horizontal, as was the right hand tailplane of WRG.
Twenty years after the accident, a stockman on Wilkurra Station picked up a
metal bound logbook or manual not far from the crash site.
If memory serves me right, WRG stood for West Riding Geoffrey, a combination of West Riding Pastoral Company (at Springdale in the Temora district), and the given name of the one time owner of WRG.
