Photo Comment

VH-WOG upside down in a crop after coming unstuck while spraying. Cropdusters suffered frequent accidents. The notes with this photo from the Ben Dannecker Collection say the accident was near Deniliquin but no date is given. -WOG was cancelled from the register in 1962 after an accident on an undisclosed date "at Cootamundra". It is possible this was the same accident and the aircraft was cancelled at Airland's Cootamundra base after being taken there for possible repair. Whatever the story behind this photo, VH-WOG was rebuilt as VH-ULR and remained current in 2018.
