                                      This Bell chopper was first registered to Ansett-ANA in February 1963.  It was operated by the
                                      Ansett-ANA Helicopter Division, mainly in PNG.    It crashed in PNG on 29 February 1963 and
                                      was brought back to Melbourne for repair.  Greg Banfield took the above shot of it at Essendon
                                      in December 1964.     Returning to PNG, it crashed again at Salamaua in January 1967 and was
                                      written off.      Some of its remains may have been used to rebuild VH-ANG.
