Only three Skyjeeps were built with this being the sole survivor

Only three Skyjeeps were built and this is the cockpit of the sole survivor. Built in 1951 it was formerly VH-OLD

VH-OLD was sold in the UK as G-AKVR, a return to the registration it wore before it came to Australia in 1952. VH-OLD was its third Australian registration (VH-BRP, then VH-RCD). When it flew for the first time as VH-OLD in September 1988, it marked the end of 32 years of unfinished rebuilds and long periods of storage. Unfortunately it suffered a forced landing in 1991 which grounded it once again. -OLD was sold in the UK in 1998 but it would be 2004 before it again flew. It is seen here converted by Kingsford Smith Aviation Service with a raised rear fuselage decking.
