                                 Originally registered VH-SMA in May of 1961 for the Snowy Mountains Hydro-Electric Authority,
                                 this Commander was re-registered VH-SMG in September 1967 to clear the way for this preferred
                                 company  registration to be applied to a newly acquired Pilatus Porter.     The Commander was sold
                                 shortly afterwards to Chartair Aviation of Adelaide who then re-registered it VH-PSG.  Ben Dannecker
