                                          This 402 replaced a Cessna  310K with the same rego.  Obviously VH-BUD was some kind of
                                          special registration for Opal Air.  Ex N3279Q, this, the third -BUD was first registered in June of
                                          1966.  Daniel Tanner's photos were taken (above) at Parafield, Adelaide in 1979 and (below) at

                                          owned at Dora Creek, NSW.
