Aircraft owned by the Royal Aero Club of Western Australia. FAS was the former A17-37. It was civilianized in July 1947 as VH-RJA for Ronald J. Annetts of Melbourne, operating under the snappy name of Hire or Fly Yourself And Air Services Pty Ltd at Essendon. In 1949, it went to Furness Aviation of Parafield, SA, who re-registered it for their initials as VH-FAS. It was purchased in 1959 by Superspread Pty Ltd of Moorabbin. After its crop spraying days were done, it was acquired by the Royal Aero Club of WA at Jandakot as kind of a nostalgia machine, and re-painted as a warbird.
