This was originally the Royal Vic's VH-RVU (ex RAF WB698) which had
been sold in New
Caledonia as F-OCEF
in 1964. It returned to
Australia in September 1971 and became
VH-KJM registered to K. J. McCready of Sydney. The next owner was
Steelcon Equipment
of Darwin at which locale it is seen
above in this shot by Robert Zweck. It was among the many
aircraft wrecked
at Darwin Airport on Christmas Eve, 1974 by Cyclone Tracy.
