                               The model 195 was based on the 180, but was structurally redesigned to carry greater payloads
                               at higher speeds.   VH-BXJ, a 1961 model, (ex N4054Y) was first registered in Australia in 1964.

                               written off in a crash at Charleville Qld in 1978.
