Aerial Agriculture's Bristol 170 Freighter VH-AAH having its removable internal hopper loaded with fertiliser at Cootamundra in 1958. The aircraft was regularly flown by Lionel Van Praag until it was destroyed in a forced landing near Albion Park, NSW on 18th December 1961. Lionel and his crew were unhurt in the accident. It was in this aircraft that Lionel made his celebrated brew (see "Instant Coffee").
