This 1973 Shrike Commander is part of the extensive GAM fleet of Aero Commanders, though it isn't painted in their usual 'house colours'. It was being pushed back on to their apron, hence the bloke looking backward out the door! It was first registered in Australia on 23 January 1979.

On Feb 21, 1975 this aircraft departed from Columbus-Bolton Field, OH bound for Huntington, WV. Near Portsmouth both engines failed and the pilot ditched in the Ohio River. He exited the aircraft and swam toward shore, but disappeared and was not recovered. The aircraft sank. Two months later, driving across the bridge in the background, I spotted the aircraft on the shore, having just been pulled from the river. The aircraft has since been repaired and is now flying as N4XR.

This 1960 Aero Commander has had an interesting life. Originally registered in South Africa as ZS-CPG, it then transferred to the Kenyan Register as VP-KPY (later 5Y-KPY when Kenya changed from the British colonial series). In 1975 it came to Australia, being registered on 24 October that year. It's currently based at Melton and did a number of pleasure flights during the Houdini-Centenary Air Show - seen here backtracking after one of them.

What a tragedy to see this historic aircraft derelict and de-registered. She was one of two 560s purchased by the Department of Civil Aviation and registered on 30 March 1959, one of the first of the new breed of post-war, high-performance light twins to come to Australia. She was delivered by DCA pilots from the USA via Europe and the Middle East, arriving at Melbourne/Essendon on 17 May 1959. VH-CAW became the South Australia/Northern Territory Region's aircraft based in Adelaide.
