Written off 28/6/1966 when crashed due to engine failure/undercarriage malfunctions. Pilot - Sqn. Ldr. Doug M. Johnston - ejected at 2,000 ft and 260 kts with only minor injuries.
NOTE: Some sources state that A3-28 crashed 5 nm south of Canberra, ACT (as above) - but others give the crash location at Queanbeyan, Southern Tablelands, NSW, 15 Km from Canberra (on the ACT/NSW borders). This discrepancy may be down to the pilot landing at one location and the aircraft at another.
