VH-CGC Warsawa-Okecie PZL-102B Kos (Blackbird)
(c/n 209)
This Polish two seat semi-aerobatic light
aircraft
was first flown in May of 1958. Of all metal
construction (except
for control surfaces) it
was powered by a 95 hp Continental C90-12F
flat
four. This
machine had been allocated (and clearly
painted in) the markings VH-CGC but,
in the
event, was never given an
Australia Certificate of
Registration and it returned to Poland
as
SP-GLO. Greg Banfield saw it (above) at Bankstown in 1962 whilst
Geoff Goodall caught
it at the
same locale some time later May 1963 in a drizzling rain. Ken
Tilley advises that it is
now in
storage in a hangar at Warsaw-Bomowo as SP-EFA.
