An Australian Registered Aircraft has “VH” on the side.
UUmm, I actually
quoted that specific line in my post above???
Nonetheless, I wouldn't put too much faith in a CAsA document that does not include references. You'll also note from that document we've both linked to that it says:

Registered aircraft have a VH registration and recognised aircraft are either aircraft that are on the register of an ICAO Contracting State or a State aircraft.
And when you look at
those two definitions in CAA(3)you get:
"state aircraft" means:
(a) aircraft of any part of the Defence Force (including any aircraft that is commanded by a member of that Force in the course of duties as such a member); and
(b) aircraft used in the military, customs or police services of a foreign country.
"Contracting State" means a foreign country that is a party to the Chicago Convention.
So, if RAAus is not a
State Aircraft and it
certainly isn't registered in a foreign country, how is it that that document says you can claim your hours in RAAus, as they're "Recognised Aircraft"?
