VH-ADS (2)  Auster  J/5B Autocar                           (c/n  2947)

                                    

                                          This shot, from the Bob Neate collection is the only one I have been able to glean of the second
                                          VH-ADS.  The photo was taken at Wagga, NSW in August 1954 while the aircraft was taking
                                          part in the Redex Air Trial which flew Sydney-Brisbane-Darwin-Alice Springs-Adelaide-Wagga-
                                          Sydney. The Autocar was entered by Guinea Airways, Adelaide who had purchased it new in
                                          September 1952 for light charter, dingo baiting and aerial surveys from the airline's Adelaide base.
                                          That's Guinea Airways senior pilot Captain N. S. "Nobby" Buckley handling the refuelling, who
                                           flew it solo in the trial.  Two months later Guineas sold -ADS to Bush Pilots Airways at Cairns
                                           with whom it became VH-BPA.
