                                   VH-BHP was one of a number of 'previously owned' Cessnas imported by Aerial Agriculture for
                                   local resale in the 1960s.    Ex N8423T, this one was first registered in Australia in January 1966.
                                   Ian McDonell's shot above was taken at Bankstown in december of that year.       It had several
                                   private owners before being sold in New Zealand in 2006 as ZK-BHP.   There are several shots
                                   of it on the web in New Zealand wearing a two-tone green and white livery with 'BHP' on the fin
                                   and rudder, sans ZK- of course!
