VH-AGE
(3) Lockheed 414-08 Hudson
IVA (c/n 6039)
This aircraft has had a myriad
of identities. Originally built as a Lockheed A-28 for the USAAF
with serial number 41-23180, it was diverted to the
RAAF and became A16-110. It was
civilianized as VH-JCM and
then went to East-West Airlines as VH-EWE.

registered VH-BPT and then VH-EWR
before going to Adastra in 1958 as VH-AGE.
