VH-AGF
(4) Cessna 185A
Skywagon
(c/n 1850495)
When several Tiger
Moth agricultural operators merged in 1962 to form Agricultural &
General
Aviation (AGA), an order was placed with Cessna dealers Rex Aviation,
Sydney for three new
185As. Rex allocated VH-RKS, RKT and RKU to these,
but they were immediately changed
to VH-AGF, AGG, AGH before delivery to Perth in December of that
year. -AGF is seen above
in this shot by Geoff
Goodall at Jandakot in 1966 wearing AGA's standard yellow, black and
white
paint job.
After it was retired from ag work, -AGF was returned to a 4
seater and sold in Victoria
during 1971.
Ray Deerness saw it at Moorabbin in March 1972 (below) when it was
named
'Swampy' and in use as a parachute
jump ship. Still active, it is
today registered to a private owner
in
Queensland.
