VH-CKH Cessna 172A
(c/n 46869)
Here's a sleek 172A at Jandakot in
December 1969. This aircraft spent all its days in the West,
starting out as
VH-RWF with the Royal Aero Club of
WA in December 1959 before going to
South West
Aviation at Bunbury WA as VH-SWD. Traded in to Cessna
agents Simpson Aviation
at Jandakot in 1966 it was
re-registered VH-CKH and was owned by a succession of WA owners
before
being blown over by a windstorm at Jandakot Airport on 4 October 1970
and struck off the
register.
Geoff Goodall took the above shot and reports that his last sighting of
it was two years later
when it was
dismantled and stored at the home of an aircraft engineer in the Perth
suburb of Swanview.
