VH-DET Beech V35 Bonanza
(c/n 8525)
VH-DET was registered in September 1967. When David
Carter photographed it at Mascot in
April 1971, it was marked Santa Gertrudis over an image of
the beef cattle breed. This aircraft
was destroyed on 25 September, 2006, when it flew into Mount
Killiecrankie, on Flinders Island
shortly after take-off, killing the pilot. A note was found in
the wreckage and there was no sub-
sequent investigation into the cause.
