VH-IDM DHC-2 Beaver 1
(c/n 1541)
<>
Aerial Agriculture Pty Ltd at Bankstown purchased a total of over 70
Beavers over the years. When
they
ran out of VH-AA markings, they switched to the VH-ID block, then VH-IM
series. VH-IDM
was registered in July 1964,
one of a group of brand new Beavers imported in 1964, when
the aerial
ag industry was booming. A big slump hit
later that decade, and VH-IDM was sold in New Zealand
as ZK-CZL. It returned briefly to Oz in
January 1989 before going back to Canada as C-GEDE. As
such it is still flying. The above shot is
from the Wally Scott collection.
