VH-AGS  Lockheed L414-56 Hudson III                               (c/n  6041)

                                  

                                        The second VH-AGS was yet another Hudson for Adastra Aerial Surveys.  This had previously
                                        seen service with East-West Airlines as VH-EWA.   Originally dressed in a dull gray with white
                                        top finish, Adastra adopted several other color scheme over the years.  When Greg Banfield saw
                                        it at Mascot in February 1969 it was painted with a sort of orange-brown cheat line and vertical
                                        stabilizers and a blue lower fuselage and white top.     A full history of this machine and photos of
                                        these various paint jobs can be can be found on Ron Cuskelly's site at:
