VH-APY  Piper PA-24-250 Comanche                      (c/n  24-1382)

                                  

                                        This Comanche first came onto the Australian register as VH-MCA. It was re-registered -APY
                                        in April 1963 and then, a year later, reverted to -MCA again.   There has to be a story there
                                        somewhere.  The late and great Greg Banfield caught it as -APY at Archerfield, Queensland
                                        (above) in January 1964 when it was factory finished in a nice white with red and dark gray
                                        trim.    In February 1967 it became VH-TMW.
