I don't know, but the photo _could_ be QZ. When it left PAGC it had a red stripe and boomerang motif on the fuse (as well as comp number = 49). It is now in the nice blue/yellow/red scheme that Cathy & Co chose. I remember seeing it at Waikerie in 1985(?, 20 yearly?) where the fuselage was being scraped back. Do you remember those big black numbers when you bought it Cathy? My guess is the picture (if it is queasy, was between 1985 and when the AUGC syndicate refabriced it) and probably in the south east of SA somewhere.
