Tragically killed on 04/02/59 when Neptune A89-308 crashed onto the banks of the Hawkesbury River at Cornwallis near Richmond, New South Wales the result of a fire in the port engine nacelle which was caused by the disintegration of the engine's Power Recovery Turbine Wheel (PRT). The disintegration of the PRT caused the severing of fuel lines inside the wheel well which then ignited the fuel spewing out of the lines. The ensuing fire burned fiercely and before the aircraft could land, it burnt through to the wing subsequently causing the it to fail in-flight. The aircraft crashed inverted and all eight crew perished. Crew:
