This is at least the fourth allocation of theVH-AAI registration. The first was a DH82A which went to the RAAF in 1940. The second use was on the DHC-2 Beaver that came to NZ to become ZK-CMV, mainly for Air Contracts from 1965 until it was exported to Canada in 1970. Third issue was to a Cessna 421B.
