During an aerial spraying operation, the aircraft suffered a sudden and complete loss of engine power while banking to the right. The pilot levelled the wings and diverted towards a farm track at an oblique angle. While slewing the aircraft around to the left to align it with the track, the left wing struck a wire fence. This slewed the aircraft further to the left, causing it to strike another fence and nose forward hitting, the propeller on the ground. In the subsequent inspection, only half a litre of fuel was drained from the entire fuel system.
