VH-BOU
(1) Beech C-17L
(c/n 107)
This aircraft was originally imported into new Zealand as
ZK-AEU. A full history
of
this machine can be
found
at: http://www.adf-serials.com/nz-serials/nz573.
After its wartime service as NZ573 it became
ZK-AJS.
It was exported to Australia in 1955 as
VH-BOU and for some unknown reason the
livery
was completely changed, as
the above shot, taken at Bankstown in
1956 shows. (I personally
liked the
ZK-AJS livery
better) After being re-registered
VH-PMG(4) in 1963 and VH-TOT
in 1964, it had an
accident in 1967 and
was stricken off the register. I understand
it is a candidate for restoration.
