Actually VH-MBX, which was struck off the register in 1993 and acquired by the museum. The real VH-TGP (c/n 27-354) was sold in Papua New Guinea as P2-TGP in 1979. Abandoned at Rabaul airport after a volcanic eruption, it is believed to be the Aztec dumped in the sea at Matalau for divers to explore.
