VH-FAC
Lockheed 18-07
Lodestar
(c/n 2553)
This aircraft was a Fawcett Aviation machine
(hence the VH-FA sequence) which was leased to
Gibbes
Sepik Airways in (what was then) Papua. This shot was taken at
Jackson's Strip in Port
Moresby in 1951. VH-FAC was sold to Fieldair in New Zealand in
1956 as ZK-BMC, and
was
converted into an aerial top dressing aircraft. A more
complete history of it can be found at:
