VH-PAP DHA-3 Drover 3
(c/n 5011)
This was the former VH-FDT/VH-DRE
acquired by Air Melanesiae in February 1969. It
didn't last long, being damaged at del
Vila in May of that year. A year later it returned to
Australia and
David Carter saw it at Bankstown (above) after it arrived back.
It was
reregistered VH-EOO in
September 1970. John Wheatley's image (below) is a color
shot of it after its return from the islands. As -EOO it was
withdrawn from
use in 1975.
