C206 VH-MZL destroyed in takeoff accident in PNG on 7th June 2023
The Australian operation of the 'Strickland Bosavi Foundation', Cessna C206 based at Mareeba, Nth Queensland, was destroyed during an aborted takeoff roll at Dodomona in Western Province, Papua New Guinea, on 7th June 2023
The pilot and two passengers sustained only minor injuries. The photograph supplied by the pilot to PNG AIC would rather suggest the pax and crew were very lucky. The aircraft was previously owned by MAF.
VH-MZL and VH-ITV are regular visitor to PNG.

I’m surprised that they are still operating pistons out there, must be a logistical nightmare to get fuel.
Off the topic a bit, thought I saw the Beaver that was previously based at Gurney down at Proserpine a few weeks ago.
