VH-CCJ Grumman G-164 Agcat
(c/n 302)
Designed by Grumman Aircraft and
licence-manufactured by Schweizer Aircraft, the prototype
Agcat first
flew in 1957. It vies for a place in the top 10 "World's Ugliest
Aircraft". Agcats didn't
start arriving
in Australia until the early 1960s. Here's one which was
imported in September 1964
seen two years
later at Parafield by Geoff Goodall. It was operated by Cropcair
Aviation out of
Archerfield,
Queensland at the time. A month or so after this shot was
taken VH-CCJ was written
off in a crash
near Clifton Queensland (on 6 October 1966).
