This plaque was
presented to Allan Vial in October 1991 by the late Russell Yeulett
DFM, a Path Finder who was living in Cairns at the time. Russell retrieved
this port engine access panel from the wreck of VH-DAS at Kuranda and
had it suitably mounted. Allan Vial's TAA epaulettes with SA Government
gold buttons were subsequently added to the trophy. This artefact is
now displayed in the Don Bennett Office at the Queensland Air Museum,
Caloundra.
