VH-BHI
Hiller UH-12C
(c/n 831)
This Hiller,
seen at Essendon in 1957 in the above shot from The Collection
p3255-0004, was
short-lived under that rego, being registered to The Zinc Corp, Broken
Hill NSW in May 1957
and
being wrecked on 21 October that same year in a crash in a remote area
of Cape York
Peninsular in far north Queensland. It was, however,
repaired and became VH-THC for TAA,
only to be written off, this time for good, in Antarctica in 1960.
