VH-SCY   Aero Commander 600-S.2D Thrush Commander                (c/n  1383D)

                                     

                                         Designed by Leland Snow, and initially built by the Ayres Corporation, the series 600 series
                                         were built by Rockwell after they acquired Ayres in 1965.    This one was registered new in
                                         May of 1968.  Mike Madden's shot above was taken at Archerfield in January 1971.  The
                                         aircraft had come to grief at Coomera, Qld in May 1968 and had been restored by November
                                         1969.  Other periods of being off the register occurred and -SCY was finally damaged beyond
                                         repair in 1990.
