2012 DH-84 Riama crash
The 2012 Riama crash was an aircraft accident that occurred in Queensland, Australia on 1 October 2012. ''Riama'' was a 1934 vintage de Havilland Dragon, returning to Caboolture from the ''Norra-Aus Fly-In'' airshow at Monto when the pilot reported the aircraft was encountering heavy clouds and zero visibility. Radio contact with ''Riama'' was lost an hour later and a search and rescue operation was initiated shortly after. The wreckage was found in heavily wooded, hilly terrain on 3 October. The pilot and five passengers were killed in the accident.
The final report by the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) was released on 19 December 2013. It found that the pilot was not qualified for instrument flight and the aircraft was not equipped for such flight. The weather at the time on the "coast and extending inland included low clouds and rain." "... the pilot radioed air traffic control (ATC) and requested navigation assistance, advising that the aircraft was in cloud."
"With no or limited visual references available in and near cloud, it would have been very difficult for the pilot to maintain control of the aircraft. After maintaining control in such conditions for about an hour, and being unable to navigate away from the mountain range, the pilot most likely became spatially disoriented and lost control of the aircraft before it impacted the ground."

At the time of the accident, ''Riama'' was one of four airworthy examples of the DH.84 Dragon aircraft in the world. After sitting disassembled in a hangar for many years, the aircraft was restored at Murwillumbah Airport by vintage aircraft specialists Mothcair between 1998 and 2002.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Missing Dragon bi-plane not equipped with instruments to negotiate cloudy weather )〕 The aircraft was purchased by Des Porter, the accident pilot, who learned that parts used in the tail section of the aircraft had been sourced from another Dragon, also named ''Riama'', which had been owned by his father but was damaged in a 1952 crash landing at Archerfield Airport near Brisbane. Porter himself had survived another accident in a Dragon at the age of 11 which killed his father and older brother in 1954. The distinctive red biplane had become a popular attraction at airshows and flying events around Australia. It was reported that on the weekend prior to the accident, Porter had raised some $15,000 for a Bundaberg based rescue helicopter service by offering joy-flights in ''Riama''.
