VH-ALL (2) Cessna
182
(c/n
33496)
This early 182, the second
-ALL, was first registered in November 1960, (ex N5495B) to D.A. Long
of
Broadford, Victoria. I just
love those 1960s Cessna
factory liveries. The above shot, by Bob Neate
was taken at
Moorabbin, circa 1961. In the shot below by John
Bland the Cessna is seen with the
nice art deco
paint job having been replaced with the all-white color scheme of
Nicholas Air Charter.
Possibly Mr.
Long was a business friend of Dick Cavill's and leased the 182 to him
for his NAC oper-
ation? Mr. Long later traded this aircraft on a new 180B in March
1962, requesting the old registration
being
placed on the new aircraft. At that time -ALL
was re-registered VH-AEL, with just
two simple
brush strokes being all that was necessary to change its
identity!
