Narrative:The flight was planned from Deniliquin - Cootamundra - Bankstown with a time interval to Cootamundra of 96 minutes, and although the pilot indicated a fuel endurance of 300 minutes, the aircraft handling notes and an analysis of fuel consumptions based on refuellings since the aircraft left Sydney on 31 March, indicate that this figure was unrealistically high. The aircraft was being directed to Camden, when, at 1826 hours, the pilot reported that he was running out of fuel. The aircraft was ditched in Lake Burragorang.
