VH-BVJ (1) Cessna 180A
Skywagon
(c/n 32764)
This shot is from the Robert Blaikie
collection. Robert lived for many years in PNG. The 180,
which was owned by the Missionary
Aviation Fellowship at the time, is shown at a remote air-
strip in the PNG
Highlands in the early 1960s. Ex N7867A, it was first registered
in August 1957
and was
among the first of its breed imported into Australia. The pilot
standing with the aircraft is
Harold
Morton who based it at Tari Airstrip. In December 1962,
when sold off by MAF, it was
re-registered VH-KER.
