VH-KSS     Auster J/5 Adventurer                                      (c/n  2873)

                                    

                                           Here's a very rare shot of an Auster from Phil Thomas of an Auster first registered in March
                                           1949.  Phil indicates that the shot was probably taken in or around Broken Hill.   However,
                                           the aircraft was actually registered to Gibbes Sepik Airways in New Guinea., and was written
                                           off in an accident at Bulolo on 28 February 1950.    It was shipped back to Kingsford Smith
                                           at Bankstown and re-emerged as VH-WBS.
