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.

DC-3s and boomerangs - VH-EDD was registered to Qantas in 1946 as VH-EAO (later VH-EBX) before being sold to TAA as VH-SBH in 1960. TAA sold it two years later to the Netherlands Air Force for use in Dutch Western New Guinea. It returned to Australia and Qantas in 1964 as VH-EDD for crew training and hauling freight. It was sold to Bush Pilots Airways in 1971 and ended up on the Cairns airport fire dump.

A89-307 caught just as the sun was peaking over the eastern horizon. It was not enthusiasm that got me to the airport so early but a lift from a neighbour who worked there. In 1967 with my bicycle off the road, it was either a 20-minute pre-dawn trip with the neighbour or a 1½-hour journey by foot, train, bus and finally by foot again for the final mile.
