                                   VH-BPF was actually Bush Pilots second Cessna and was first registered in April 1958.  It was
                                   formerly N4882D.  The photo above (coutesy of the Maurice Austin collection) was taken at
                                  Cairns headquaters in 1959.  As can be seen, BPA by that time was an authorized Cessna dealer
                                  also.  When sold in 1960, -BPF became VH-SNN.
