This was actually the second iteration of the rego VH-DIP, although the
first was to have been a
Cessna 180F Skywagon which was registered VH-FRI instead.
This -DPI was the former
VH-KMD.
David Carter's photograph above was taken at Bankstown on 17 October,
1970.
VH-DIP was written off on 27 March 1972 at Montejinnie
Station, Northern Territory whilst
mustering stock from the air. It apparently hit
the ground in an almost vertical position.
Sadly, the pilot was killed.
