On 22 February 2013, two aircraft, registered VH-TGY and VH‑TZJ, departed a private airstrip near Bourke for Rumleigh, New South Wales. Both aircraft were to conduct aerial application (spraying) operations, which was supported by two ground personnel (mixers).
TGY landed at the Rumleigh and the mixers loaded the aircraft’s hopper. TGY departed and commenced spraying operations. Shortly after, TZJ landed at Rumleigh and was loaded. As the take‑off run on the south-eastern runway was commenced, TZJ’s fire-bombing door unexpectedly released and the 2,700 L load was jettisoned onto the ground, contaminating the runway.
About 15 minutes after, TGY landed on the north-west runway. When approaching the runway end, the pilot observed mud spraying up from the aircraft’s wheels. The aircraft then commenced sliding and turning to the left. When the left wheel contacted dry ground, the aircraft swung further left and tipped forward, resulting in the propeller contacting the ground. The aircraft then tipped backwards and the tail wheel assembly detached, resulting in substantial damage.
