Default Hailstones

Down in the Sale and Bairnsdale area the Beauforts were christened 'Gippsland Hailstones' because so many of them either crashed or dissapeared in Bass Strait. The problem was I believe a faulty elevator control cable. I guess most of us have seen the movie of the Beaufort flight where one hits another and falls into the sea.
