On this day in Australian aviation history:

1972 Piper PA-31 Navajo VH-CIZ operated by Ansett Transport Industries (Operations) Pty. Ltd. crashed at Golden Grove, Mount Lofty Ranges, 13 miles NE of Adelaide, SA on 13 July 1972. At approximately 0748 hours Central Standard Time the aircraft struck the ground in a shallow dive at Golden Grove in the foothills of the Mount Lofty Ranges some 13 miles north-east of Adelaide Airport, South Australia. The aircraft was engaged in operating a charter flight for the carriage of passengers and freight from Adelaide to Moomba. The aircraft was destroyed by impact forces and the pilot and seven passengers were killed. Sources: ATSB; aviation-safety.net website
