N8830Y arrived in Australia in 1969 with a wipe-off ferry registration
as shown in David Carter’s
photo (below) taken at Bankstown. In May
1970 it was registered VH-WJC to Campbell’s
Tyre Service, of Newcastle, and was again
snapped by David at Bankstown soon after (above).
Campbell’s were involved in both tyres and
conveyor belts. In 1972 it sent a crew to
Gove,
Northern Territory, to install a convey
belt at a mine site. On August 18 that year, –WJC stalled
after take-off for
Gove from Groote Eylandt and crashed. All four on board the
aircraft, which
was
overloaded and had its centre of gravity too far aft, died in the
accident.
