Bill (Willy) Andiel Little Tinny, 10-1797, 2 km west of Armidale Aerodrome, New South Wales

A witness reported seeing a light aircraft in a near vertical
nose-down spiral descent. The descent continued until the aircraft
disappeared from view behind trees on nearby rising ground. Some
time later searchers found the wreckage of a light aircraft in a
fenced paddock approximately three kilometres west of the local
airport.

The initial investigation confirmed that the aircraft had
impacted the ground while descending near vertically nose down. The
two position mechanical flaps were found to be selected to the
landing position. All flight controls and actuating systems were
identified in the wreckage. The evidence shows the engine was
developing power at impact.
