VQ-FAD  DHA-3 Drover 2                                                    (c/n  5002)

                                  

                                       In 1964, aircraft of the British/French Condominium of the New Hebrides were registered in Fiji.
                                       This Drover, formerly VH-BMU was sold to New Hebrides Airways.  The above shot, by Brian
                                       Walker (via Geoff Goodall) was taken at Port Vila just after the aircraft had arrived.  Note dual
                                       British/French flags on the tail.      When the New Hebrides own civil register was formed in 1966
                                       the Drover became VP-PAD.      As such it crashed in a gorge on Tanna Island in October 1966,
                                       killing all 8 occupants aboard.
