VH-AGA (3) Aero Commander 500A
(c/n 1253-77)
VH-AGA the third was delivered
to Sepal Pty Ltd, an Adastra Aerial Surveys subsidiary in October
of
1962. Greg Banfield' shot above was taken at Mascot
on 14 June 1966. As was the norm for
Aero Commanders of this era, the rego was painted in minuscule font at
the top of the fin. An en-
largement of Greg's nice photo appears below. Following
that is a B&W photo by Geoff Goodall
at
Moorabbin in
January 1969. VH-AGA(3) had several
owners after Adastra and was written off
in an accident
at
Goulburn, NSW on 1 December 1984. Being an
Adastra aircraft,
its complete
history
