The pilot of VH-CXE was flying in company with, but about two miles ahead, another aircraft flown by his daughter. VH-CXE was observed apparently flying a straight in approach to the sealed runway at Mt Margaret and to then go around from the approach (there was a 15 knot crosswind from the right at the time). The following aircraft also went around from its initial approach and flew another circuit. Neither occupant of this aircraft saw VH-CXE during the second circuit and a radio query failed to bring any response. A fire was noticed on the western threshold of the dirt cross strip. Later, when VH-CXE could not be located, the position of the fire was examined and confirmed as the wreckage of VH-CXE.
