This was the 495th Friendship, ordered originally for Libya. Registered to Fokker in 1980 as PH-EXM, then PH-FTX. Sold in the USA and re-registered N334MV, then N272SA in 1986. It was sold back to Fokker in 1987 and became PH-FTX again. It then went through several hands as CN-CDC, PH-FTX again, TR-LCQ, F-SEBJ, HB-ILJ and ZK-PAX. In 2018 it was acquired by HARS and flown from Auckland to Wollongong where it is currently engineless, becoming VH-EWH(6) on 18 January 2018. It is the fourth Fokker and second F.27 to wear this registration! This photo is copyright © Phil Vabre, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
