Narrative:The cowl of the No. 2 engine had separated from the aircraft during takeoff from Laverton Aerodrome. The pilot reported that although the aircraft had left the ground after the rotation, it then would not climb. The aircraft remained at almost treetop level until the pilot and front-seat passenger noticed the side of a tailings dump immediately in front of the aircraft. The pilot said that he pulled the control column fully back. The aircraft hit the hillside parallel to the slope of the embankment. The aircraft was destroyed on impact.
