VH-FVV / 570 (cn B570) This aircraft was built in New Zealand in 1971 for the Republic of Singapore Air Force, serial SADC115 but test-flown as ZK-DDQ. It seems to have had a very short career with the Singapore Air Force before beging 'retired' and civilly registered in Singapore as 9V-BDQ. In April 1988 it was re-registered in Australia as VH-FVV. |

VH-DIJ (cn 18254959) This 1963 'F' Skylane was originaly registered N3559U but may never have worn it as it was registered new in Australia on 27 November that year. It's currently in use as a jump-ship and appears to be, on the whole, in very original condition. |

VH-ILT (cn D-9105) V-Tail Bonanza VH-ILT photographed after arrival at Lilydale Airfield in 1974. A similar aircraft (Reg N3794N, named 'Miss American Pie') crashed near Mason City Iowa, USA, soon after midnight on 03Feb1959. The crash claimed the lives of Rock and Roll Legends: Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and J.P. Richardson (The Big Bopper.) They were immortalised in Don Maclean's tribute ballad (Bye Bye Miss) 'American Pie'). Hence, Tuesday 03Feb2009 is the 50th Anniversary of 'The Day the Music Died'. RIP. |
