This 1963 Beaver was delivered new as a cropduster to Super Spread, being registered VH-IDI on 5 February 1964. On 15 November 1996 the aircraft was officially destroyed in a fatal accident near Point Lookout, NSW. The wreck was subsequently rebuilt as a seaplane and registered VH-NOO on 17 February 2000. A year less a day after this photo was taken, on 31 December 2017, VH-NOO crashed into the Hawkesbury River. The pilot and five passengers were all killed.
