I know there were at least a couple of Federation Air Services Beavers,VR-RBS/9M-ALS,and VR-RBW/9M-ALW, ,but wondered if there were any `private` ones operating there.
Other than VR-RBS/T/U/V/W, the only other Malaysian registered Beavers I'm aware of were 9M-AXD/E, but those were in the late 1970s.
