VH-AAK(2)     DHC-2 Beaver                                       (c/n   137)

                            

                                  VH-AAK was an early Beaver and, like VH-AAD, came from Malaysia.   It was delivered to
                                  the (then) Government of Malaya in 1951 as VR-RBS.  It was then re-registered 9M-ALS
                                  before going to Australia in 1960.   Despite a fairly serious crash at Nimmitabel, NSW in 1988
                                  it appears to have been restored, and is current as VH-AUH.  Forty-seven years on and it is
                                  still an agricultural aircraft, (registered to AirAg - same company?) based at Bankstown .
