VH-AGO was to be replaced by VH-BKZ but its entry into service has been delayed by alterations in the installation of its camera gear. DCA granted a two-week CofA extension. | |||

more detail drawn from the log book of Tom Carpenter. Note that

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.
