Tfr Point Cook Base Sqn ex 1FTS 01/03/51. Accident 28/03/51, during a night training exercise at Point Cook Flight Training School this aircraft crashed into the sea almost immediately after take-off due to engine failure. At 10.15 pm James Thomas Cass (Trainee Pilot) Serv# A33820 began flying several circuits with J.P. Bird (Instructor) in A20-648 and on the last approach this plane had an "almost complete hydraulic failure". Bird instructed Jim Cass to get the spare plane (A20-724) started, which he did. Bird checked the new plane and taxied it into starting position. F/Sgt Ronald Keith Johnstone (Instructor) Serv#033214 (Accident report has him as F/Lt but casualty report has him as F/Sgt, but Serv# prefix 0 means Commissioned Officer) then took over from Bird in the second plane. There was then a loud bang and a shower of sparks as if the ignition switch had been turned off. The switches were then re-tested and everything seemed okay. It was about 10.55PM by this point. The plane then took off reaching 400 feet before the engine cut out, restarted, cut out again, restarted again and cut out a third time. The plane banked steeply to the left and then spun until reaching about 150 feet. At this time, about 11.02PM, a radio call from Ronald Johnstone was heard by the Flight Officer in the control van - "Charlie Charlie, emergenc..". The Officer immediately looked out of the van and saw the plane heading straight downwards at about 150 feet, no longer spinning at this point, and it hit the sea about 300 yards offshore, in about 8 to 10 feet of water. The crew, F/Sgt Ronald Keith Johnstone (Instructor) 033214 and James Thomas Cass (Trainee Pilot) A33820 were both killed instantly upon impact and the plane was destroyed. The bodies of the pilots were not recovered for 3 days on 31st March 1951. Rec Point Cook 08/04/51. SOC and Converted to components 27/06/51.
