VH-CUX Piper PA-23-250 Aztec D
(c/n 27-4454)
This Aztec was flown in from the US in
May 1970. David Carter saw it (below) just after
arrival with the delivery rego
N13809 just about obliterated. Originally an Illawarra
Flying School
aircraft when first registered, it had been sold off when the
above photo was taken Robert
Zweck at
Groote
Eylandt Aboriginal
Mission in the Northern Territory in December 1974.
Robert had just delivered a load of freshly baked bread in it from Gove
to the
Mission.
Sadly, -CUX was destroyed
several weeks
later on Christmas Day,
1974 by Cyclone Tracy
whilst at Darwin Airport.
