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                                     was withdrawn from use at the end of 1975.
