On the morning of 15 August 2003, the pilot hired a Victa Ltd Airtourer, registered VH-MVP, to practice basic aerobatics. Prior to flying to the training area, the pilot was conducting a number of touch and go circuits. Following the fourth takeoff and while climbing through about 200 ft, witnesses described hearing the aircraft engine surge then stop. Shortly after, witnesses saw the aircraft turn left. The turn steepened as witnesses lost sight of the aircraft behind trees and houses and a short time later they heard the aircraft impact the ground. The pilot was fatally injured in the accident.
