VH-DMB (3)
Beech 95-C55 Baron
(c/n TE-76)
What an extraordinary way to display the rego
on this Baron. They had loads of space on the fin
and
rudder but elected instead on this extremely narrow font on the
fin. See the enlarged image
below of this nice Merv Prime photo. The aircraft was
registered in March 1966 and the owner
was
veteran pilot and engineer Doug Muir, who had just moved his charter
business from Darwin
to Perth and leased the aircraft to Steel Construction Company.
This firm deployed many aircraft
between Perth
and the remote mining towns of northern Western Australia in the 1960s
and 70s.
. Muir sold his company to Civil Flying
Services in early 1967 and VH-DMB(3) became VH-CFG(3)
in
October of that year.
