VH-CBP Piper PA-23-250 Aztec C
(c/n 27-2875)
Here's VH-CBP in a Geoff
Goodall shot at Perth Airport in October 1969 (ex N5751Y) when
owned by Preston Air
Charters of Perth and looking very sharp in its original sharp factory
color
scheme. It was first registered on 18 November 1966 to J. Naylor
of Julia Creek, Qld. It later
served with Carpentaria Flying
Service in North Queensland, and was purchased by Dudley
Preston in July 1969. Geoff saw it in
the same spot several years later in April 1974, but by now
repainted and with a new owner,
Boxall Air Charter of Bunbury WA. It is still flying and Martyn
Covey took the contemporary shot at the foot of the page at Mildura in
August 2008. It is currently
registered
to Gobel
Aviation of Bendigo.
