'The Amy Grace' started life as a J-5BG Cirrus Autocar. Shipped, new, to Robby's Aircraft Co., Parafield, & registered VH-RAD on 16 Aug 55. In 59 changed hands to Air Charter Ltd before re-registered as VH-WWB to Commodore Aviation, Port Lincoln, SA on 13 Mar 62. Unfortunately, crashed at Port Lincoln on 21 Feb 65.
