VH-CFD (1) Beech 23
Musketeer
(c/n M-82)
This Musketeer was entered
in the 1964 Ansett Air Race by Mrs. J. Folks, and was the winner
of the Women's
section of the Closed handicap. Geoff Goodall took the above shot
at the finish
line at Parafield on 31 March
1964. It was owned at the time by Civil
Flying Services who.
in
addition to operating a flying school, were also Beech agents.
When sold off in July 1965 it
was re-registered VH-CED (using the minimal of
paint to achieve the change) to make the
rego
available
for a Queen Air. As VH-CED it was withdrawn from use in
1985 following an accident.
