Now carrying its bushfire-spotting callsign 'Bird Dog 366' on the forward fuselage, this push-me-pull-you was cunningly registered after the old Department of Natural Resources and Environment. It was manufactured in 1977 and registered in the USA as N1315L. It came to Australia in 1978 and was initially registered VH-CGE on 2 June that year.
