Their flight was from Gorrie airfield near Katherine, Northern Territory to Wagga Wagga in NSW. They were to fly to Cloncurry the first night, but due to heavy storms, Cloncurry was out and so was Longreach. They had just done a left turn to skirt the storms to fly to Charleville when the port engine caught fire, hence the order to bail out.
