VH-KKZ   Callair A-9A Quail                                  (c/n  1218)

                                 

                                      This shot, by Ian McDonnell, taken at Bankstown in December 1965 is rare inasmuch as VH-KKZ
                                      was the shortest-lived of all the 25 Callairs imported into Australia by the distributor, Aerial Agricul-
                                      ture Pty Ltd..   It was registered to Kun-Air Krop Kontrol of Kunumurra, WA on 23 December 1965
                                      and destroyed in a crash near that Western Australian locale on 2 January 1966.    While engaged in
                                      spraying work, engine power was lost during a low turn and the machine dived into the ground and was
                                      destroyed by the resultant fire.  Pilot C. Wolfe was not injured.
