                                          Another fine shot from Roger McDonald's vast collection of agricultural aircraft photos.  This one,
                                          taken by Roger at Albury in February 1970 shows -TRH when it was a  brand new demonstrator.
                                          It had only been completed the previous month at Transavia's factory in Seven Hills, NSW, and
                                          was first registered on 20 January 1970.       While still owned by the manufacturer, it crashed at
                                          Proserpine Qld in February 1973 and following rebuild, went to North Queensland Aerial Spraying
                                          at Mareeba Qld until cancelled from the register in November 1977, no doubt due to accident damage.
