  • Cesna 172 upside down, photo from 1976

    Well, better add something to this forum.

    My father put the 172 down, may have been carby ice. Lucky that it flipped over, as the Gidgea trees were only another 20 meters away. I remember that the Mitchell grass was a lot rougher than it looks in the photo.
    My brother was a passenger at the time, sitting in their seats hanging upside down.
    Put it down in a gap in the trees, the nose wheel came off, probably a combination of braking, the grass tussocks and, cracks in the soil.

    I have to make the pictures smaller in size for them to open up larger on the forum.
    Go figure!
    As you can see, it was in winter time.
