The 1937 Australian National Airways Stinson crash was an accident which occurred on 19 February 1937. The Stinson Model A airliner disappeared during a flight from Brisbane to Sydney, carrying 5 passengers and 2 pilots. Both pilots and 2 passengers were killed in the crash. One of the surviving passengers died while attempting to bring help to the other survivors. The wreckage was found by Bernard O'Reilly of the Lamington Guest House who went looking for the aircraft believing it had failed to cross the border. The aircraft had crashed in the McPherson Range on the border between Queensland and New South Wales.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Stinson plane crash inquest )〕 ==Crash and discovery==
The aircraft was heard circling at low altitude and heading towards the mountain range by people in Lamington and Hill View at approximately 2pm on 19 February. There was heavy rain in the area at the time. After the aircraft was discovered to be missing, O’Reilly believed that it hadn’t had enough height to clear the mountains and must have crashed somewhere in the McPherson range. He hiked into the mountains to look for it on Saturday 28 February. After camping overnight, O’Reilly found the wreckage on Sunday 1 March. Two survivors were waiting by the wreckage; Joseph Binstead who was uninjured and John Proud who had a broken leg. On seeing O’Reilly they asked to shake his hand and then asked what the cricket scores were. They had been able to get water from a creek about a mile from the crash site but had had no food. J. K. Westray, aged 25, from London, received only minor injuries in the crash but died later when he fell over a cliff while going to find help. The other two passengers and the two pilots died from injuries as a result of the crash.〔〔
