Photo Comment
VH-AAH crashed short of YWOL (then known as Albion Park airport) after a training exercise went wrong. The starboard prop would not unfeather after the engine was deliberately shutdown. The aircraft was not able to maintain altitude on one engine while on a regular freight flight. This photo was added on 25 September 2020, and has since been viewed 538 times.
