VH-DUB CZL (Let) Aero 145
(c/n 19-015)
Dulmison Aircraft Pty Ltd of Bankstown were exclusive importers for
Czech aircraft in the 1960s,
as reflected in their VH-DU series
regos. The Super Aero 45 and Aero 145 were developments
of the earlier Aero
45. Over 700 of all variants were built, most of which
were exported. VH-DUB
flew out from Europe with VH-DUA
and came onto the register in June 1960

use following an accident in 1976
