Collision with terrain involving a PZL Warszawa-Okecie M-18A, VH-SAD, 16km SW Deniliquin, NSW on 2 November 1996

The aircraft was taking off from an agricultural strip for a rice sowing flight, carrying 1,000 kg of rice seed. The aircraft became airborne momentarily before settling back onto the strip. The pilot was unable to stop the aircraft before it collided with a low fence and a contour bank. There were active thunderstorms reported in the area at the time and it is likely that the aircraft encountered adverse windshear during lift-off.
