Issue Date Remarks
4 05JAN18
Added flights from the log book of Adastra camera operator Harry Morrel (Source:2) Pilot on all of these flights was Gordon Bigg. Also added an image of VH-AGO. Thanks to Harry's daughter Deb Duckmanton and Nigel Daw of the South Australian Aviation Museum.
3 18SEP05
Added more detail drawn from the log book of Tom Carpenter. Note that not all flights recorded in the log book have been added to this chronology. Thanks to Cay Carpenter.
2 29DEC03
Deleted a fleet photo previously thought to include VH-AGO and added a new image from Allan Yee which is almost certainly VH-AGO. Update 12JUL16: This photo is now believed to be VH-AGG and consequently the photo has been moved to the page for VH-AGG.
