VH-PDH (1)    Piper PA-23 Apache D                        (c/n 23-787)

                                  

                                           Here's a very early Apache at Moorabbin in 1958.  One of the first to be imported into
                                           Australia after the lifting of the currency restrictions which had been enforced during and
                                           after WW II.     VH-PDH was registered to Delta Air Services of Blayney, NSW.at the
                                           time.  When replaced by the later Aztec, it was re-registered VH-PDI.  It then went on
                                           to become VJH-KXK, then VH-RLB.   Above photo by Jeff Atkinson (via Geoff Goodall).
