VH-AHA (1)   Ryan STM                     (c/n  481)

                               

                                     This evocative shot is from the Geoff Goodall collection and shows -AHA at Bankstown
                                     circa 1950 whilst the machine was owned by Morris Air Services.  This Ryan was formerly
                                     A50-32 with the RAAF and S-45 with the NEI Navy just prior to the Japanese invasion of
                                     the Dutch East Indies.  VH-AHA evidently suffered an accident at Menangle Racecourse
                                     around about the same time and its rear fuselage was used to repair VH-AGS at Albury,
                                     NSW in July of 1950.
