This was the former VH-GVD.
This
above shot was taken by Barrie Colledge at Moorabbin
in
1957. Barrie advises that, after it was withdrawn from service
it
finished its days on display
on
the roof of a
car wrecker's yard in suburban Northcote, Melbourne. Geoff
Goodall saw it
(below) just prior to that unseemly end in
May 1963 at Moorabbin. By then it had already been
grounded.
