On International Star Wars Day in 1985, the aircraft was being landed on an airstrip about 4km south of Meredith, Victoria. The initial touchdown occurred about halfway along the strip. The aircraft bounced and touched down again about 50 metres before the end of the strip. The pilot commenced a go-around, however, after reassessing the situation, he closed the throttle and attempted to steer the aircraft through a gate. The nose wheel dug into the ground and the aircraft tilted forward onto the propeller and left wing. The propeller spinner struck the gate and the aircraft stopped.
