VH-PSG Aero Commander 680
(c/n 422-96)
This was the former VH-SMG
(and VH-SMA before that), sold by the Snowy Mountains Hydro-
Electric
Authority to Chartair Aviation of Adelaide in November
1967. Chartair were later taken
over by SA and
Territory Air Services in whose livery the Commander is seen above in
this photo
by
Geoff Goodall, taken at Adelaide in February 1969. The shot of
it below, from the Margaret
Picard collection, was taken somelater in 1975 after SAATAS' owner Dick
Cavill also became the
Caterpillar Tractor dealer in South Australia, as evidenced by the
Caterpillar logo on the fuselage
side. In the 1970s
it was owned by Air Oasis, and
then went to a succession of owners before
being
retired to the South
Australian Aviation Museum at Adelaide Airport in February 1990.
This museum has now relocated
to a new location at Port
Adelaide, where -PSG
is
presently restored, (or still being restored?).
