Although officially a Cessna 210-5A, VH-KMF was in reality a Cessna 205, the predecessor of the Cessna 206. The 210-5 was a development of the 210C but had a fixed tri-cycle undercarriage, a 3300lbs TOGW, a stretched fuselage incorporating an extra port side door, two main doors and six seats. It was powered by a 260hp Continental and it, in turn, was developed into the Cessna 206 whilst the 210 line continued on to the 210D etc. (Thanks to Tony Arbon for this explanation). | |

19AUG05
|
It is now known that Adastra (Sepal) did apply for CofA and Registration for Mustang A68-104 and that the registration VH-AGV was allotted but not taken up. (See Issue 12) | |
|
14
|
09JUL05
|
Added Douglas DC-6B N6105C. See Adastra and the Westinghouse DC-6B by Mike Wood. | |
|

|
28MAY05
|
Added Cessna 180 VH-ASP. See Adastra and the Single Engine Survey Aircraft by John Collins. | |
|

|
06MAY04
|
It is now considered unlikely that Mustang A68-104 was owned by Adastra. See Issue 15. | |

As a result of new information that Adastra actually purchased Anson VH-WMA and attempted to place it into service, the listings for this aircraft have been amended. Adastra requested two registrations, VH-AGO and VH-AGJ, both of which have been added to the table even though both were refused. | |

Added
Hunting Aerosurveys Ltd DC-3 G-AMYW as this aircraft was used alongside
Hudson VH-AGE on the Timor Sea contract in 1965. Several contemporary
reports stated that the Adastra fleet included two DC-3s, so it
is possible that G-AMYW was Adastra's second DC-3. It has been suggested
that it may have been necessary to include G-AMYW on Adastra's airwork
licence. Addendum 05JAN04: Bill Mitchell believes that it is not appropriate to include G-AMYW in a list of Adastra aircraft. |

Added B-17 CF-HBP of Kenting Aviation. Although the B-17 was never operated by Adastra, the company was evidently involved in handling the aircraft during its November 1958 visit to Sydney. See photos. | |
