A two pack baked finish is what we use on all vehicles and a baking oven. During the night of May 31, to June 1, during the Japanese midget submarine attack in Sydney Harbor. Twelve days later, escorting a southbound convoy when the freighter Guatemala was torpedoed and sunk by Japanese submarine I, the only ship lost in a convoy escorted by Whyalla.
During December , operated off New Guinea and performed convoy escort, hydrographic survey work. The corvette sustained minor damage from near miss bombs with two crew injured by shrapnel. Afterwards, continued survey work until relieved by sister ship Shepparton in April Whyalla proceeded to Milne Bay , and was present when the anchorage was attacked by a force of approximately Japanese aircraft.
Again, Whyalla was not seriously damaged, and the corvette assisted sister ships Kapunda and Wagga during rescue and salvage effort. In June returns to Australia for a refit then assigned to convoy duty off the east coast of Australia until February Between February until June , performed anti-submarine patrols off Sandy Cape, then was returned to New Guinea. Ben Mackiewicz, the year-old pilot, issued a mayday call shortly before the crash, alerting the authorities that his engines had failed.
The chance of both engines breaking down simultaneously is extremely remote, virtually ruling out simple engine failure as the cause. At first it was thought that the plane had run out of fuel.
Subsequent investigations appear to indicate that the aircraft was loaded up with adequate fuel before leaving Adelaide. Fuel contamination is considered unlikely, as the plane did not use Mobil Avgas. Last December a black-coloured contaminant was belatedly discovered in Mobil aviation fuel, causing engine failures.
This resulted in the grounding of up to 5, piston-engine planes across eastern Australia. Questions were also asked whether a young pilot should have been given so much responsibility.
Mackiewicz had been with the company for 18 months and was considered an experienced pilot with 2, hours' flying time. In January, while flying the same plane, he had been forced to make an emergency landing in a paddock on the Yorke Peninsula, when one of the engines failed. The engine was subsequently replaced. A pilot flying eight rail workers home to Port Augusta from Cook in western South Australia ditched the plane in a paddock because he was not sure that he had enough fuel.
When the pilot was asked to explain why, when he first realised that he may have miscalculated the fuel level, he had not filled up at Nullarbor on the way to Port Augusta, he said that he had expected to get favourable winds. Whether he was under pressure to save on fuel is not known. Investigations following this incident found breaches of regulations.
