VH-DCF Beech G35 Bonanza
(c/n D-4664)
Here's a Bonanza
with tip tanks. Not unknown by any means, but not that common
either. Handy
for extending
the range, but at some sacrifice to the useful load. Geoff
Goodall took the above shot
at Adelaide's
Parafield Airport in April 1967. It was originally
imported through the then Australian
agents for Beech Aircraft, deHavilland
Aircraft of Sydney in October 1961 as VH-MJT, and was
previously N4319D. It was sold the
next year to a farmer at Coonalpyn SA and re-registered -DCF.
As such it then went
on to serve a long series of SA owners. I n 2007 it bcsame
VH-DMV(4) and
in 2015 was restored at VH-VPV.
