Summary
At 1001 hours CST on 12 May 1973, a Beech 35/C33 Debonair aircraft, registered VH-DHI,
struck the ground near the top of a ridge three miles west-north-west of Myponga, South Australia.
It was found that the aircraft had struck rising ground, some 750 yards from the coast
near the top of a north-south ridge, while travelling in a westerly direction and in a substantially
level altitude. The altimeter subscale was set to 1019 millibars, which was the current area QNH.
An examination of the wreckage failed to reveal any evidence of a defect or malfunction in the
aircraft which might have contributed to the accident.
