VH-SCT  Piper PA-25-235  Pawnee B                                        (c/n  25-3483)
                                  
                                       

                                     First registered on 3 November 1965 to Ag-AV, this model B Pawnee was seen at Archerfield in
                                     1966 by Ben Dannecker.   For an agricultural machine, it led a fairly long life, and, like many of its
                                     ilk, became a glider tug later in life.  On a glider tug flight near Jondaryan, Queensland on 1 Nov
                                     1992 it was struck by the glider it had been towing in a fairly severe thermal.  Damage to the port
                                      wing resulted in the machine spiraling and diving vertically into the ground.  The pilot was killed.
