(VH-AWL) as
VT-DJQ Hindustan HT-2
(c/n T1 11(
In 1958 Airwork Pty Ltd decided
to try their luck at selling the Indian designed and built
Hindustan HT-2 trainer in Australia. It is seen above at
Moorabbin during demonstration
flights. In June 1959 it was registered VH-AWL and based at
Archerfield. No sales were
forthcoming and
it was shipped back to India in October 1960. I assume then, it
was sent
on
consignment. The above shot by Neil Follett is the only one I
have seen of this aircraft,
although I am positive someone took a photo of it in Australian
markings during the year it
was
in Brisbane.
