VH-DRD crashed at Mooraberrie Station on January 11, 1952. It was stripped of useful parts and abandoned. The fuselage was taken to the homestead at the north side of the airfield and used as a chicken house. In 1980 the remains of -DRD were recovered to Mt Isa where they and parts from other aircraft were restored as a memorial for the Royal Flying Doctor Service. Removing the fuselage from Mooraberrie required some caution as the world's deadliest land snake, the inland taipan, would have found it a happy hunting ground for mice and rats.

Photographed from a Cessna 172, the Cabramurra airstrip ( bottom, right) was built as part of the Snowy Mountains Hydro-Electric project. At 5050 feet ASL, it is the highest airstrip in Australia. It was used regularly by DHC-2 Beavers during construction but today is for emergency use only. The town of Cabramurra is on the ridge behind.
