VH-BLF (3) Beech 35-33
Debonair
(c/n CD-117)
VH-BLF was registered in March 1967 to Frank Fleming and Sons, of
Brisbane, a major earth-
moving company that used it to fly to projects all over Queensland.
David Carter photographed
it when it
was visiting Bankstown on April 3, 1971. The Debonair had been
VH-MIL since arriv-
ing
in Australia in February 1961. Fleming and Sons
replaced –BLF with a Beech 95 Travelair
and the
Debonair passed through several hands before being sold in the UK in
1983. However,
before it
could be formally registered in Britain it was lost in an accident.
