Wobbies World Helicopter
.

A Bell 47J helicopter from the late 1950s, registration VH-INE, which was retired from flight and used as a simulator at the former amusement park Wobbies World. The park closed in the late 1990s, and the helicopter moved to its current home at a private residence. The paint flaking from the tail is slowly revealing the previous owner's name "AIRFAST" underneath it. The helicopter was also used by Ansett-ANA. Inset shows the Wobbies World logo on the door.
