I’m pretty sure that’s the ditch behind the operators parking area with the company office in the background of some of the pics. Almost made it. (Assuming it was being operated by Bill as reported)
Is LMY still one of Bills, it seems ironic that the crash site is what 5m form it's parking spot. How can someoene miss a thousand acres of flat ground and put it in the only ditch in the airport.
Hmm! 400 Litres of fuel! And a six seater to boot.
CASA had better have a look at this obviously modified aircraft, or is it simply the quality of the media reporting ?
R16.

Given reports are that an amount of fuel leaked, and pilot reported fuel exhaustion, im thinking a fuel source selector issue...
So, the conclusion is.....forgot about the fuel selector. " I am out of petrol". Let's put it down as close as possible to the office to save time putting the pieces together and it's close to the car park......
Like i said......Good outcome.

How interesting, not one single further comment about the nature or origin of the hazard that has apparently done the damage.
Turning a blind eye??

I don't think anyone cares!
Which is a pretty good metaphor for the state of GA, and the inability of far too many in GA to pull together for the greater good, rather than tear each other apart.
Or, put another way: "Nobody cares that GA lost it last North/South in the Sydney basin, the direction of the strongest wind".
Because, if the 18/36 strip/runway was still there, that fence, gully and regrowth scrub would not have been there.
And a few other accidents at Bankstown would not have happened, since it went.
Forget the big picture, concentrate on the inconsequential.
Tootle pip!!
