De Havilland DH.104 Dove
Bankstown New South Wales
The crew departed Bankstown on a local training flight. While circling near the airport, the Dove collided with a private Piper PA-30-160B Twin Comanche registered VH-WWB that was approaching Bankstown Airport on a flight from Sydney with also two people on board. Following the collision, both aircraft dove into the ground and crashed in a residential area located about 3 NM from the airfield. Both aircraft were destroyed and all four occupants were killed. Fortunately, there were no casualties on the ground. It is believed that the crew of the Dove encountered radio problems before the accident.
