VH-ASV  Lockheed 12A                    (c/n  1236)  
                           
                           

                                 The second bearer of the registration VH-ASV was also a Lockheed twin, but this time the
                                 so-called 'Electra Junior'.    This aircraft was the former VH-ABH although it held a couple
                                 of identites in between becoming VH-ASV (to wit VH-DMC and VH-TLX).  It is seen above
                                 at Essendon as contender in the 1964 Ansett-sponsored Brisbane to Adelaide air race, in a
                                 shot by Richard Maclean.   Jim Sweeney saw it at Bankstown later on in 1971 (below).   In
                                1978 it was restored back to VH-ABH and dressed up as "Silver City", its original Associated
                                 Airline name.   For full historical details of this Lockheed see Ron Cuskelly's page on it at:
