This Aero 145 was built at Kunovice, Czechoslovakia in 1961 and imported into Australia in 1962, being assembled at Bankstown and then being used for fish spotting (especially tuna) by Commodore Aviation out of Port Lincoln, SA. From 1963 a 10-year contract for lighthouse supply began, taking advantage of the aircraft's excellent endurance and short-field characteristics. A Cessna 337 took over the fish spotting in 1968 but the Aero continued with charter and island work till 1979. Wfu by 1985, it was allocated VH-ZCL for a long-term restoration project from 2001 and placed on display at SAAM

This aircraft was one of five of the type exported to Australia in the early 1960s and is the only one of those five left flying. Between December of 2023 and January of 2024, it was flown from Australia to the Czech Republic by it's new Czech owner. The black markings along the top of the fuselage are notes and signatures of people the pilot met during the course of the voyage.

This Aero 145 has recently returned from Australia and will be based with RAF Station Czechoslovakia at Podhořany (LKPN), albeit still retaining its Aussie registration. It is pictured taking off to take part in the traditional massed fly-past of Czechoslovak aircraft (something akin to the Flying Legends's Balbo at Duxford).
