VH-AGG (1)
Lockheed
L414-56 Hudson IIIA
(c/n 6486)
Built originally as
a Lockheed A-29 for the USAAC as 41-36997, this aircraft was diverted
to an RAF Lend Lease contract as
FH196 although, in the event, shipped out to the Royal
Australian Air Force where it
became A16-219. After the war it was civilianized as VH-BLA.
In 1950 it was sold to Adastra
Airways in
Sydney, becoming VH-AGG. Adastra, in the main,
registered all its aircraft in the
VH-AG series. A complete chronology of its history
whilst in
Australia can be found at
