                                         Formerly the freighter VH-TAH.    Became VH-SBN when transferred to Sunbird services
                                         in 1962.        Sold in 1968 to (the paradoxically named) JetAirlines of Australia.  After this
                                         short-lived operation the Australian Aid section of the Department of Foreign Affairs donated
                                         it to the Cambodian Air Force in 1971, where it was flown with serial 24139.    The images
                                         above and immediately below are from the Peter Gates collection.       That at the foot of the
                                         page showing -SBN in Australian Air titling is from the Graham Bennett collection (via Geoff
                                         Goodall), and was taken at Essendon in 1971.
