VH-CFB (1)
Cessna 172B Skyhawk
(c/n 47754)
This shot was taken by
Geoff Goodall at Adelaide Airport in September 1963. The aircraft
had
just been sold earlier that month by Civil Flying Services of Moorabbin
to a Melbourne
private owner and
retained the CFS yellow white and black color scheme. It
was originally
VH-RED and changed to VH-CFB in December 1960
on its sale to CFS parent company
Brookes Aviation of Moorabbin. Civil Flying School
& Civil Flying Services used the
VH-CF registration block and
in January 1964 persuaded the new owner to apply to DCA
for a change of registration
to VH-CRB, to allow Civils to use CFB on
their new Beech
Bonanza (see following entry).
