VH-CAK (2)   Swearingen SA26AT Merlin IIB                (c/n  T26-172E)

                                   

                                           In 1968 the Dept of Civil Aviation ordered four new Merlin IIBs turbo-props to replace
                                           their Aero Commanders.  VH-CAK(2), seen above in this Roger McDonald shot, was
                                           the last of them.  They were followed by two Merlin IIIs, VH-CAL and VH-CAM   
                                           VH-CAK was sold in 1985 and returned to the US as N309SP.
