VH-ABH (2)   Yeoman YA-1 Cropmaster 250R              (c/n  114)

                                

                                     Considering that this photograph was taken just after dawn on a dark winter's morning in July of
                                     1967 (at Coonabarabran, NSW) it's a pretty decent image.  Geoff Goodall, who took the photo-
                                     graph indicates that it, and -CYY in back, were warming up for more crop spraying sorties. Geoff
                                     had just crawled out of his sleeping bag where he and his mates had kipped down in the hangar
                                     for the night!   Now that's what I call dedicated aircraft spotting!    Coonabarabran is about 200
                                     km north of Dubbo in western NSW.  Not quite "beyond the black stump" but getting close.......
                                     VH-ABH had originally been assigned the rego VH-ABY but for some reason this was not taken
                                     up.   The Cropmaster came to grief in an accident at Mumindindi Victoria in 1970 and was written
                                     off.   Whether it was still working for Westair Aviation Service at that time I do not know.
