VH-PIB was registered in June 1961. Little is known about its history
other than when
David Carter
photographed it at Griffith in 1979 it had recently had a Melbourne
owner
and was
based at Essendon. It looks very odd wearing a nose wheel spat
but had them
taken off for
the main undercarriage.. In Mike Msadden's.shot.(below) taken
earlier at
Maitland
in 1972 it has the complete set. Still current
today (2017), this fifty-five year
old classic
was based at Swan Hill. .
