Geoff
Goodall took the photo above of this example at Jandakot
Airport, Perth in October 1969
when it was
contestant No. 56 in the annual Weekend New Air Trial. By that
time it was a
mere one year old
having been first registered to Australian Beech agents Hawker de
Havilland
at Bankstown in
October 1968. When this shot was taken it was based
on Byro Station out
of Mullewa, WA. In October 1971
it was sold in New Zealand becoming ZK-DII.
