A float-equipped Lawrence Bay Airways de Havilland Beaver was maneuvering at low level after leaving a lake near Buss Lakes on a day VFR charter to Southend. It stalled at a height from which recovery was not possible and crashed on a lake shoreline about 2 nm from the departure point. All five occupants were killed on impact, and there was no post-crash fire.
