Beech King 200 Air VH-HPP on lease to Aust Army Aviation

by David Harvey

At roughly the same period that the Aust Army Aviation Service leased three DHC-6 Twin Otters in the period 1997-2002 for support purposes, they also had a small number of Beech King Air 200 airframes for the same purpose. They retained their civil regos VH-HPX, VH-HPZ and VH-HPP (construction numbers BL-137, BB-1505 and BL-138). They served with 173 Sqn from the late 1990s till 2004. Dave Harvey - This walkaround of VH-HPP was taken at RAAF Darwin whilst I was posted there. You will note that the colour scheme and markings are very similar to the Army operated Twin Otter in the last issue (Steve - Editor).
