On 4 December 1944, the RNZAF Ventura 4550 crashed while attempting to land at Funafuti Airfield, Tuvalu (formerly known as the Ellice Islands). All five of the crew were killed.
The Ventura 4550 and its crew had been out on patrol and had returned to the airfield with its depth charges still on board. As the plane came in to land, it was noticed by ground crew to be coming in too fast. The plane hit the runway, bounced, and then bounced a second time and swerved dangerously towards the 70-foot tall palm trees to the left of the runway. Hoping to climb over the trees, the pilot gunned the engines. But it was too late – the plane smashed into the trees at around 35 feet, tore apart, and flipped upside down in a fireball of flame.
A US Navy radioman on the ground, Thorsten Lundquist, was in the nearby mess hall when he heard the roar of the engines and the plane striking the trees. Rushing to the scene, he attempted to open what doors were not already engulfed in flames, but they were jammed. Hearing screams, he worked frantically to find an entry, crawling on his stomach to get underneath the upside down fuselage. But the flames were too strong. Running for cover, Lundquist was knocked over as the depth charges exploded, totally destroying what remained of the wreckage.
The official inquiry, which included this photograph of the flight path as evidence, concluded that the inexperience of the pilot, combined with a 7 knot cross-wind, was the cause. Although the pilot had clocked up sufficient flight hours, it was his first ever attempt at landing at Funafuti and had failed to properly brake his glide on the final part of the approach.

Justin Barcia, Black Baggett and Ruan Dungey went to Lommel, Belgium to defend America's honor at the 2012 Motocross of Nations
Five men died in a fireball when their RNZAF plane crashed on a Pacific atoll on this day 4 December 1944.
Pilot W W Young and his crew J D Dungey, R F McAuliffe, J N Heal and L J Bowick were attempting a landing on Funafuti, north of Fiji in Ventura NZ 4550. Witnesses reported that the descent of the plane was steeper than usual but there was nothing else to suggest a problem. But instead of completing a normal landing the plane bounced several times before crashing through coconut trees, after which there was a loud explosion. The plane had been carrying depth charges and some exploded on impact increasing the conflagration. The subsequent enquiry found that the pilot was inexperienced and drifted towards the coconut trees after landing but that there was no negligence or lack of discipline. Of F/S W W Young the enquiry was told that he was “quiet and unassuming but industrious and eager to learn. Is a good pilot but as a Captain qualities of leadership have yet to be developed. Flying assessment average all round but above average in instrument flying.”
Shown here is an image of the path of destruction left in the wake of the crash.

Bowden Bible Christian Church later Way Memorial Methodist Church
Jubilee Services
The jubilee of the Bowden Methodist Church was celebrated on Sunday. This church was founded by the late Rev James Way, father of the Right Hon Sir Samuel Way Bart, and Dr E W Way.
In 1850 the late Rev James Way arrived at Port Adelaide with the Rev James Rowe, as missionaries from the English Conference. They came to Bowden, and finding Bible Christian friends, among whom were the late Messrs Samuel Coombe, P P Dungey, and J R Rundle, they started the cause.
Services at first were held in a butcher's shop. The cause prospered, and in 1851 the foundation-stone of a meeting house was laid.
A little later the building was opened with special services.
A few years afterwards a more commodious building was required. Land was purchased, and its erection was proceeded with, and early in 1857 it was opened for divine worship.
Nearly 20 years later both buildings were enlarged, and the original structure was made to serve as a lecture hall. Slight additions have been made since.
Naturally the name of the late Mr Way is associated with the church, and a mural tablet bears the following inscription — 'In memory of Rev James Way, founder of the Bible Christian Church in South Australia, born at Morchard Bishop, Devon, England, June 17, 1804: entered the ministry 1826: arrived in South Australia 1850: died at Sea View, Noarlunga, August 14, 1884. He being dead yet speaketh. Also of Jane Way, wife of the above, died May 15, 1878, aged 67 years.'
This tablet was erected by the members of this church, of which Mr Way was the first pastor.
The church, for the first 17 or 18 years, was in the Adelaide circuit, and afterwards was made the head of the Bowden circuit, having branch churches in Thebarton, Findon, and West Hindmarsh.
In 1900, when Methodist union was consummated, it became part of the Hindmarsh circuit.
On Monday evening a public tea meeting was held in the lecture hall. The pastor, the Rev F Bullock, congratulated all present on the jubilee celebration. There was on one of the tables a jubilee cake, and he would Mrs S Coombe, to cut it. Mrs Coombe is the only surviving original member of the church. She had been present with her late husband, Mr S Coombe, when meetings were held in Rundle’s butcher's shop. The cake was cut amidst applause. It bore the inscription, 'Bowden Methodist Church Jubilee, 1851 to 1901’.
A public meeting followed in the church, over which Sir Samuel Way, Bart., presided.
His Honour the Chief Justice said it was not the first time he had attended an anniversary at Bowden.
He referred to his love of the Bible Christian denomination. The name, he said, was now lost, but its union into the Methodist Church he did not doubt would result beneficially. He was not in South Australia when his father laid the foundation stone of the Bowden Church, as he was still at school in England.
There had been much controversy as to whether Bowden was the first Bible Christian Church in South Australia. Mr Coombe had insisted that it was, but he had not taken into account the chapel built at Burra— built before Mr Way or Mr Rowe arrived in South Australia, and the chapel at Kapunda was also opened before the Bowden Church.
His association with the Bowden Church dated from the time he landed from the ‘Cleopatra’ in 1853. When he arrived, he was asked by Mr Coombe to preach at Bowden. [Ref: Register Tuesday 24-9-1901]
Bowden Methodist Church
Diamond Jubilee
The diamond jubilee of the Bowden Methodist Church, and of the labours in Australia of the late Rev James Way, the founder of the Bible Christian denomination here, was celebrated on Sunday.
The Rev James Way, father of the Chief Justice, became connected with the Bible Christian denomination in its infancy, and for three years was a local preacher. He entered the ministry at the eighth annual English Conference, in 1826, and in 1847 was elected President of the Conference.
Although Mr Way entered the ranks of superannuated ministers, he frequently preached in churches of the denomination nearly until the time of his death, at the age of 80 years.
He was pressed to take charge of the Canadian missions by the English Conference, but he refused, because he had promised his widowed mother that he would never leave England during her lifetime. The Rev James Thorne, one of the founders of the Bible Christian denomination in England, and secretary of the missionary society, subsequently asked Mr Way to go to Australia and the Conference unanimously elected him to found the Bible Christian denomination in this State. The Rev James Rowe was chosen to accompany him. Mr Way, with his wife and children (excepting their eldest son, Sir Samuel), and Mr and Mrs Rowe, left England in the ‘Anna Maria’, on August 12, 1850, and arrived on November 4. On leaving the vessel at Port Adelaide, Mr Way and Mr Rowe proceeded to Bowden.
Mr Way, at his ministerial jubilee celebration, said:—"I began my preaching at Bowden, in a butcher's shop. I carried a letter to Mr Rundle, and in the course of conversation, he said to his wife, 'What do you say, Mary? Shall we let Mr Way preach in our shop?' to which she replied 'I don't think it will do to sell meat in the morning and have Mr Way preach in the afternoon.'
I agreed with her that the two things would not suit together, and a stop having been put to Sunday trading, I began preaching in the shop.
A Chapel Built
Having left Mr Rowe at the Burra, Mr Way returned and resumed his work at Bowden, which afterwards was included in the southern circuit. Land was purchased in Sixth street in the name of Mr Way, and the building of a chapel was soon begun. The laying of the foundation stone was thus described: “On Monday, August 4, 1851, a little after 4 o'clock pm. the foundation stone of a new chapel was laid in Bowden, for the use of people denominated Bible Christians, by Mr Jas Way, pastor of the Australian Mission”.
The church was opened on Sunday, November 30, 1851. The builders were Messrs George Cole & Simon Clarke.
In 1856 the debt was paid off the chapel, and the foundation stone of the new one was laid by Mr Way. On February 15 of the following year it was opened. The cost amounted to £700.
In 1876, during the pastorate of Rev Joseph Hancock, the new church was enlarged. and a gallery put in one end, and the old church was enlarged to twice the original size. This is now used as a lecture hall.

Had a blast at the Budds Creek Nationals over the weekend in Mechanicsville, MD. What an amazing place, so so fan friendly. All four, actually five races were just excellent. Ryan Dungey was the leader of the pack though...a step above the competition with several of the top riders out currently with injuries. He's looking to get his second outdoor championship this year I think without much of a problem. He's in a league of his own;)

Victorian Alpine Huts survey, for Parks Victoria 1994-5.
The Bon Accord track led from Harrietville up the east branch of the Ovens River to the foot of the Bon Accord spur and then to the Razorback. It is thought to have led to the Bon Accord mine in the Mt Wills gold field{ see Mt Wills Gold Field plan}. At one period, this was used as a cattle track to the Hotham-Loch snow-plains (by the Blairs and others) when Dungey's Track was blocked by fallen trees { Stephenson: 276}. John Lawler had the grazing rights over the block in 1908, then covering some 13,500 acres, followed by TE Whitehead of Urana and then William Lawler in the 1920s{ DCNR 644/121}. After a vacant period, the block was taken by Edward Dyason & Co. (Melb. sharebrokers also of Wandiligong) in 1931{ ibid.}. Neil Gow followed in 1937, with W Howard joining him in the mid 1940s. Typical of the late 1940s, restrictions were placed on stock type and numbers and the grazing period. By 1960 only the northern part could be used for grazing (2200 acres). The first hut on the site was built as a four-bunk 16x10' hut for the Tourist Resorts Committee in 1929, reputedly in place of Lawler's Hut, but it was burnt (along with Hotham Heights, St Bernard Hospice, and the Feathertop Bungalow) in the 1939 fires{ Stephenson (1982): 290, 184}. The hut was rebuilt in 1939 reputedly for the Victorian Railways. Both the 1929 and 1939 huts are thought to have been built by Martin Lawler who is also been attributed with Cope Hut's construction { Stapleton: 191}. Bon Accord hut is shown on the 1945 `Kiewa Scheme' plan but with no occupation license covering the site in the 1980s{ MP:70; Boadle (1983): 8; HO16956 letter from E Johnson 5.10.44 describes hut as owned by Railway Dept.}. The c1939 hut was built in transportable sections and taken via the alpine road to the Razorback crossing. From there it was sledged in by `Sandy Lawler' and erected during an upgrade of the track. Eric Stewart was behind raising the money to rebuild the hut and the track, along with a new bridge at the Ovens River{ Stephenson (1982): 187f; Lloyd:355.}. It is pictured under snow with a gathering of pack horses at the verandah; this was the stopping point for the horses, hence the stable and yards. The development of the Bon Accord spur route to the snowfields was furthered by a decision to hold the University Ski Club championships at Mt Hotham in the early 1930s. J Warrand Begg wrote of his 1931 investigations of the route, noting that it once served the old Bon Accord mine (see old battery remnants, battery keeper's house near Ovens River bridge){ Stephenson (1982): 183}. Once established, this route became the favoured one for skiers, with guides such as Frank Wraith{ ibid.}. In 1944 the monthly ski magazine, `Schuss', noted the valued activities of a Harrietville miner, Eric Johnson, who guided and packed ski tours via Bon Accord Hut (since c1943): it was a luxury for those who previously had to carry their own pack to now have Johnson's two horse-drawn sledges doing the job{ HO16956 cites `Schuss' 9.1944: 132}. At that time Johnson built a small hut (at or near Biplane Hut) on the snowline to aid in this service (now in ruins). The magazine described Johnson's knowledge of the alpine area as `so great that his presence in that area is the cause for considerable relief to the many skiers and others associated with snow sports in that locality'{ ibid.}. Johnson also worked in with the Victorian Railways who provided weekly ski holidays{ Stephenson (1982): 199}. At that time Johnson applied for a permissive occupancy half a mile east of this hut at the start of the snow poles and built a `tiny hut' to aid in the transfer of packs to the chalet. Here he housed the upper end of the phone line from the Bon Accord Hut and his carrying equipment; nearby there were stables and yards for the horses. The lands Department noted that the hut would be `a decided acquisition to the already popular tourist resort'{ HO16956 note on Johnson letter 5.10.44}. However the Victorian Railways did raise an objection a year later to what they understood was Johnson's intention to lease the hut{ ibid.}. Johnson gave up the hut occupation c1950. In 1983 Bon Accord Hut (6.74x 4.5mx 2.19m) was described as clad with c.g.i., with a timber floor, large rubble stone fireplace and a porch at the eastern entry point, and a verandah along the north side, both with earth floors. The hut was framed with sawn timber, but unlined except for cement sheeting remnants to the ceiling. Two windows each had 12 panes, the door was timber, and furnishings included a table, bench seating which ran around the walls and along the verandah, and 4 steel-framed beds. Nearby was a 4.7x3.7m log-framed `stable' with c.g.i. wall and roof cladding, and a dirt floor. Then it was used by walkers, more often in summer than winter, but no one walking group maintained it. Access was by foot 2.5K (40 minutes down, 1 hour return) from the Razorback and the hut site was surrounded by alpine ash regrowth. Tatnall has also noted that it was built from transportable sections{ Tatnall, 1988: 1}
