VH-IHN    Hughes 269B                                          (c/n  55-0200)

                                   

                                         This little Hughes was acquired by National Art Metal Co Pty Ltd (Namco) in April 1966 from
                                         its original owner and importer International Helicopters. Greg Banfield's shot was taken a couple
                                         of months later in August 1966.    Location was Bankstown.   Kevin Murphy had taken the photo
                                         at the foot of the page during the prior month.            Like several others of its type imported into
                                         Australia, VH-IHN was later sold in New Zealand, ostensibly as ZK-HDI although in the event
                                         was cannibalized and the parts went into ZK-HBE.
