Crashed Farm Hill airstrip near Kununurra, Western Australia 16.1.70. During takeoff in crosswind, ran off runway and was badly damaged. Pilot Stuart K. Skoglund (partner with C.H.Wolf in Kun-Air Krop Kontrol) was not injured. Struck-off Register same day.
On 12.10.75, the bare fuselage frame was dumped outside the hangar at Kununurra, identified by the registration on the tail fabric. (See ref #1 below). This seems to have been the last sighting of VH-MPQ; presumably scrapped in 1975-76.
