Checking out "The A7 Era", page 148/49 shows S317 after colliding head on with
X33 in 1967. It was very badly damaged and extensively rebuilt. Then on
17/6/82 the crew were killed when it collided with the rear of the disabled
"Spirit Of Progress" at Barnawartha. Again it was very badly damaged, and
didn't return until 1985.
Regards,
Craig.
