VH-ASV
Lockheed L414-08 Hudson (c/n
1881)
This Hudson saw service with the RAAF as
A16-30. It was civilianized in 1947 and was
purchased by H. Warren Penny of Sydney, dba Intercontinental Air
Tours. It reportedly
made
several trips from Europe to Australia in the 1947-48 period
(presumably with
immigrants -
this was a period of great migration to Australia following the
aftermath of
WW
II). At one time it was impounded in Singapore (still a British
Colony at that time,
of course) due
to a C of A irregularity, but was eventually released to Warren Penny to
continue
his business. It was sold in 1948 to Burma as
XY-ACD. Go to Ron Cuskelly's
