Vh-nrf
Here's what VH-NRF looks like when it's the right way up:
http://www.sydneyaviators.com.au/Aircraft.aspx?pid=31 It's an Archer II, described on another website as "luxuriously fitted out for cross country use".

But seriously....lucky, lucky people to have walked away from that. Reports also suggested a poodle walked away from the accident...did the cage break open?

From memory VH-NRF and VH-NRB used to be in the flight line at Schofields by some type of cross-hire arrangement. I've done quite a few hours in each of them...

I know the owner of this aircraft and flew it many times while it was on the flight line at Schofields. It was a nice aircraft to fly, in good condition and well equipped, a real shame to loose it. Thankfully all on board made it out ok.
NRF was purchased from the USA in 2007 (ex N8181W), re-ssembled in Moorabbin and then ferried up to Bankstown. After Schofields it was on the flightline with BASAIR for a short while then finally with Sydney Aviators. Here are two of the images from the USA when it was on the market. VH-NRF at Bankstown on 1st November 2008
