VH-CPS  Cessna 172D Skyhawk                        (c/n 50518)

                                      

                                           This is a John Wheatley shot taken at Alice Springs, circa 1971.   I do not recognize the logo on
                                           the fuselage.  This Skyhawk was first registered in January 1964 and was to have been VH-DIK
                                           but that was not taken up and it became -CPS instead. It was formerly N2918U. It was damaged
                                           beyond repair in November 1979 and cancelled from the register.
