The aircraft was endeavouring to negotiate the Lindis Pass in marginal weather conditions by following State Highway 8 at low level, estimated between 50 and 300 feet. The pilot was observed to attempt a reversal turn near the summit of the Pass. During this manoeuvre, the angle of bank increased to the point where the aircraft began to lose height. The left wing subsequently struck the ground causing the aircraft to cartwheel on to its nose. A 14-year-old boy survived the impact but died in a helicopter en route to hospital.
