VH-CSC    Cessna 205                                 (c/n  205-0055)

                             

                                  This was actually the second VH-CSC, the first being the Anson ex VH-AQV, which was re-regis-
                                  tered when it was acquired by Crowley Airways      .  However, the chances of my ever securing a
                                  picture of it as -CSC are probably remote.            This Cessna also had a previous identity, namely
                                  VH-ANY and was imported in January 1963. ex N1855Z.   It was re-registered into the Crowley
                                  Airways VH-CS series in August of that same year.  Ben Dannecker's shot above was taken in New
                                  Guinea in 1970.   Like many aircraft operating for Australian owned concerns in PNG , it was re-
                                  registered on the Papua/New Guinea register in 1974, following the gaining of independence of that
                                  nation.   Most aircraft initially merely had P2 substituted for VH-, although many were subsequently
                                  re-registered within the P2- register.   P2-CSC was not and, in fact, was restored to the VH- register
                                  in June 1979 when it returned south again.  It is still current and registered in NSW.
