                                        VH-IDG was another ex-US registered Beaver, this one being delivered in April 1955 as
                                        N5828N.    In Australia it went to Aerial Agriculture who flew it until 1982 before withdrawing
                                        it from their fleet.  Greg Banfield's shot of it above was taken at Bankstown in March 1975.
                                        It was acquired from Aerial Agriculture by A. Schofield of Bunyan, via Cooma, NSW who
                                        restored it and held it until June 1996 when it returned to Canada becoming C-FYNZ. 
                                        As such it is still active today.
