29. TEEDE, Colin Hordern ( 1911- 1933 )

Colin Teede was killed on 29 November 1933 in Bunbury’s only fatal plane crash, which occurred at Picton Junction.  Colin had requested to accompany the Pilot on a brief joy flight over Bunbury, prior to the plane flying onwards to Perth.

Unfortunately the plane experienced a mechanical mishap and fell to the ground, killing Teede and the pilot Stanley Waldo Catlett.

Investigations revealed that Catlett only held a British Pilot’s licence and had flown the Australian Aero Club Moth VH- UGO without authorization.

Colin Teede is interred in the Bunbury General Cemetery.
