                                         ex N2546G, by Air Express Co of Archerfield, who promptly sold it to the Royal Queensland
                                         Aero Club.    It was later cancelled from the Australian register on 28 May 1976, the last owner
                                         being the General Store, Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea when it was transferred to the PNG
                                         register as P2-PJW.   It was reregistered P2-GFG in 1976 and David Carter saw it as such at
                                         Bankstown (below) in December 1982.  It returned to Australia in 1987 to become VH-HFB.
                                         In 2000 it was registered again as VH-ZJV, an identity with which it is still current with a
                                         Tasmanian company at Bridport.
