VH-BTP Cessna 310D
(c/n 39039)
Imported by Rex Aviation in 1960 as one of
the several aircraft to bear the registration VH-REX, this
310D was
originally N6739T. It was sold to the Queensland
Air Ambulance
Board as VH-ATP
in September
1960. When traded in by the QATB in September 1967 the lead
letter was changed
to
a "B". It is seen (above) at the Cairns base of QATB just after
that change took place in a photo
by Dave Thollar (via Geoff Goodall), and (below), in Geoff's own shot,
at Jandakot in July 1975 after
many
changes of ownership and now in the hands of a Perth private
owner. Unfortunately it crashed
the
following month at Karratha WA on 4 August 1975.
