VH-DMN Cessna
150E
(c/n 15061039)
This 150 looks to be in
good shape, although Ian Mcdonell, who took the above shot at
Toowoomba in
April 2014 indicates that it has been, in fact, off the register for
quite some
time. First registered in 1965, it was owned, at one
time, by the Tyagarah Aero Club
at
Murwillumbah, NSW. Correspondent Raymond Bryant
indicates that during the
1980s -DMN was owned by Adrian Bryant who purchased it from the
club. Early in
the 1980s a cyclone ripped through Murwillumbah airport and destroyed
the wings of
-DMN. The same cyclone also
hit Coolangatta airport and took out sister craft
VH-DMO. Adrian then acquired that latter machine and
married its undamaged wings
to
-DMN. The fuselage of -DMO along with the damaged wings of -DMN
languished
at
Murwillumbah for several years..
