VH-AAH Percival P.44
Proctor
5
(c/n Ae.99)
This Proctor was imported in
1952. I have not been able to glean a photo of it as VH-AAH, but
above is a shot from the CAHS
archives showing the aircraft as G-AIER soon after its arrival in
Australia. It was re-registered as VH-SAS in September 1953 for
Sabre Air Snaps. It crashed
on
Mordialloc Beach, Victoria on 10 October 1954, and the
wreckage was removed to Moorabbin.
Parts of it
were then used in 1955, along with the fuselage of VH-ARV to create a
second VH-SAS
which was given
the c/n Ae.2, being from the fuselage of VH-ARV (formerely G-AGSY).
