September 22 1966 saw the crash of Ansett-ANA Flight 149 a Viscount 832 service about 5 minutes from landing at Winton after loss of control at about 4,000 feet due to fire damage of a wing spar. A very sad month and year for Australian aviation.

(If the crew knew the seriousness of the situation they could have landed in the 'outback' while they still had some control)
