VH-FVR was not an official registration but a "trade plate". Trade plate was an automotive term for special numberplates used by car dealers to allow unregistered cars to be used for limited purposes, such as test drives. So it was with aircraft dealers who received a small number of registrations so they could demonstrate and ferry unregistered aircraft. It was exceptionally unusual for an aircraft to have its trade registration painted on. "VH-FVR" became VH-SJJ when sold in December 1967.
