VH-SSH in agricultural kit with spray booms, hopper and roll bar. It was the end of the line for DH-82s as ag aircraft. Concern of their accident rate saw them steadily replaced by converted utility aircraft, such as DHC-2s and aircraft specifically designed to be more survivable in the the inevitable crashes that come with ag flying.
