(c/n 7951)
The locale of this Tony
Arbon shot taken in 1979 is not k known, possibly
Parafield. VH-TZW
was originally VH-BHH, a Broken
Hill Pty Ltd chopper which came to grief some 835 miles
west of Mt. Isa, Qld
on 19 May 1974. It was restored in 1976 (as -BHH) and then went to
New
Zealand (probably leased) as ZK-HJZ, since it was back in Australia
again in 1979, and
reregistered -TZW . It had
another prang at Hoxton Park in 1982 before being restored
again as a model 47G-5A. It is still current and
registered to a property management firm in
Sydney.
