Registration Markings - VH-SEX


For many years the Department kept a list of 'naughty' registrations which they did not allow to be used. With the advent of the 1960's a certain liberalisation occurred, but as the article below from the Melbourne Herald of 22 November 1969 illustrates, some registrations were still just too much for conservative country Australia!

Tamair must have failed in their bid to re-register their aircraft, as it is still on the Register as VH-SEX as of May 2008, now based in Warwick, Qld.
