                                 This was the former VH-AHZ, first registered in 1954.  It went to Fiji in 1955 becoming VQ-FAH.

                                 woomba,  Queensland as a crop seeder, in whose guise it is seen in the photograph above from the
                                 Geoff Goodall collection at Archerfield, Brisbane in September 1968.   The color image below is from
                                 the Maurice Austin collection, and shows the Drover at Moorabbin in 1973. However, it was not until
                                 1986 that the old bird underwent a complete restoration, and now appears as VH-DHM in authentic
                                 DHA livery.   Finally, at the foot of the page is a Tony Arbon shot of -PAB at Bankstown in June
                                 1986, just prior to above-mentioned restoration.
