                                     The registration VH-AFR can be discerned on this photograph if you look really closely.
                                     It is clad in the standard livery for the Royal Aero Club of NSW in the mid 1950s. consisting
                                     of a black rego on a dark (navy) blue background.   Just why they didn't paint the registration
                                     in some light color I will never know.   (See my note on VH-AGK).  This aircraft was previously
                                     G-AKCS.  It was destroyed  in a crash at Narrendera, NSW in 1954.  This shot was at
                                     Bankstown in 1953.
