VH-BDQ Auster J/1
Autocrat
(c/n 2147)
The above Brian
Baker
shot was taken in 1962, by which time Illawarra Flying School
had
changed their livery from the red
with red and white striped tail motiff to the red, blue
and thin white of the above.
VH-BDQ was the former G-AIBL exported to Australia
in 1953. It is still current
on the register, and sports the name "Dorothy
May".
Phil Vabre's contemporary image of it (below) was taken at Wangaratta
in 2006.
