THE OTHER VH-CXE

This photograph depicts the C-47 "Shiny Shiela" (C-47A-20-DL 41-23421 c/n 9283) which was the second GHQ aircraft to carry the CXE call-sign. The name and accompanying artwork have already been removed. Frank Cicerello was the radio operator on this aircraft and he recalls that his attempts at pronouncing CXE gave rise to the name "Sexy", although this name was never painted on the aeroplane.
