VH-ELH Aero
Commander 680F
(c/n 1103-69)
First registered in September 1961, this
Commander was photographed by Greg Banfield at
Mascot in May of 1964. The Avis franchise in Australia was
originally set up by Eric McIllree
in the 1940s. Whether Eric was still involved when this machine
was acquired I am not sure,
but it
is a far cry from some of the earlier aircraft with which he had been
associated! Notable
difference of the 680F from earlier Commanders were the elongated
engine nacelles. VH-ELH
was withdrawn
from use at the end of 1975.
