VH-AET
c/n '6013' previous Identity: 41-18652
As far as is known, the aircraft was
unnamed.
I have no photograph of this aircraft. It was
acquired by TAA on 20 December, 1944
and crashed into the Derwent River
estuary some 10 minutes after takeoff from Hobart,
Tasmania, on 10 March, 1946.
Investigation showed that the cause was the
inadvertent engagement of the autopilot in
mistake for the fuel cross feed.
