VH-AGH  (1)  Avro 643 Cadet II                                (c/n  990)

                          

                                This Avro Cadet was owned by the inimitable Sid Marshall (dba Marshall Airways) when I took
                                the above photograph of it at Bankstown in 1954. VH-AGH was built for the RAAF as A6-17
                                and based most of the time at CFS Camden, NSW during the war.  It was withdrawn from use in
                                1961.  Geoff Goodall took a shot of it (below) in July 1967 when Marshall had strung it up in the
                                hangar with his Me109 and Nakajima Ki43 when he ran out of space on the floor.   Note Lock-
                                heed 10B VH-ASM below.   Following a long and complete restoration, -AGH is now airworthy
                                again as evidenced by Peter Hough's shot taken at the Houdini Centenary Airshow at Melton Vic
                                on 20 March 2010 (bottom of page).
