VH-ATZ (2) as G-AXUD Britten-Norman BN-2A
Islander
(c/n 132)
I do not have a photo of this Islander
as VH-ATZ. The image above was taken by David Carter
at Bankstown early in
1970 after the aircraft had just won the England-Australia Air
Race. (The
titling on the fuselage says London-Adelaide) . The lareger
titling states "Aerial Tours of Papua
New Guinea. It came onto the Australian register as -ATZ(2)
in February 1970 and was then
reregistered in PNG as P2-ATZ in 1974. It was later
written off in a crash at Kanainje in
August 1988.
