A friend in Cairns tells me that 9L-LDQ has been based there since returning to Australia. He tells me that the aeroplane headed off to Medan last week, he understands to uplift water trucks to Banda Aceh. Certainly she has featured in the background of television news coverage of the disaster area. So her former keepers can be assured that she is one of many angels of mercy doing the good work.
Same friend is writing a magazine article on 9L-LDQ and he is having difficulty finding a photo of the aeroplane in its former incarnation as XR365 "Hector". Can anyone help?
Cheers
FBF corrected spelling of Banda Aceh
