VH-DIF Cessna 172D Skyhawk
(c/n 17250446)
This was originally registered VH-DIE in October 1963 then re-registered
VH-DIF in December
of that
year after having been sold new by Rex, and presumably since the
owner did not like the
rego VH-DIE. Can't say I
blame him, actually. To accommodate this, the bearer
of the original
VH-DIF, a Cessna 182F Skylane, was reregistered VH-WJN.
Research shows that this Sky-
hawk appears to have been owned by Mr. A.A. Henderson of Middlebrook
Station, Scone,
NSW
since new. It was, therefore, probably
Mr. Henderson who had the rego changed.
David Carter's shot of it above was at Bankstown in
November 1969. It is still current.
