Narrative:The pilot was conducting the last of his spraying tasks for the day. The paddock had an uphill slope and there were two groups of tall trees at the uphill end. The first run was conducted up the slope but during the subsequent pull up and procedure turn, strong turbulence was encountered. The left wing struck branches in one group of trees, control was lost and the aircraft struck the ground heavily. The fuel tank ruptured, a fire broke out and the wreckage was completely gutted.
