                                             Built as  N8594S, VH-RHO was registered in June 1966. When David Carter photographed
                                             it at Bankstown in 1976 it was titled “Lease and Industrial Finance”, whose name had appeared
                                             on several aircraft in Sydney.   It is unclear if the company was the operator or had repossessed
                                             the aircraft and was offering it for resale.      It is known that by 1977 it was with an owner from
                                             Woolgoolga, on the NSW North Coast.     In May 1994 –RHO was sold in Papua New Guinea
                                             where it became P2-RHO.    It was owned by Brian Brumley, the owner of the Bensbach Wildlife

                                             by road.       Soon after Brumley was forced by the local people to abandon his lodge    . He has
                                             since passed away and –RHO was left, still dismantled, to rot away in a shed at Bensbach.
