These was no distress call or witnesses and the alarm was raised after it failed to report. Debris was found next day. The wreckage sank in water too deep for recovery of it or the crew. The cause of the accident remains a mystery.

The Nowra aerodrome on the day of its official opening, with three RAAF Hawker Demons among the aircraft at the air pageant. When World War II began, the RAAF looked at the aerodrome as a possible base but deemed it inadequate. It acquired land about 2km south for a new base, which is today's HMAS Albatross naval air station. The old airport closed and civil operations shifted to the military airport.

VH-EWD was subject to continual livery changes, the airline seemingly unable to decide between the name in full or simply EWA. This livery tried both.
