VH-ILS Beech
95-D55 Baron
(c/n TE-751)
This Baron, formerly N1082A, was first registered in
Australia in October 1969. Although both
of Greg
Banfield's shots were taken in the Sydney area (above at Mascot in
November 1974, and
below at
Bankstown almost exactly a year later) it was working for South
Australian outfits in those
years.
In the upper image it carries Central Australian Airways, Adelaide
titling, while in the lower
one it had been
acquired by A.M. Irving, also of Adelaide, and trading as Irving Air
Charter. The
Baron was
flying well into the new millennium until it suffered an undercarriage
failure on on 26 Oct
2007 when it
made a belly landing at Port Macquarie, NSW. It
appears to be no longer registered.
