Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Testing of the CA-15 commenced in 1946. These flights came to an abrupt ending when Flt Lieut J.A.Lee Archer suffered a hydraulic failure (later found to be a leaking ground test gauge) on approach to Point Cook on Dec 10th 1946, which left him no choice but to orbit and burn off fuel. The main gear was only halfway down and unretractable and could not be lowered any further. The tail wheel was down and locked though. On landing this struck the strip first causing the aircraft to porpoise and finally the airscoop dug in. The aircraft settled back on the fuselage and skidded to a stop, heavily damaged.
