VH-DOB (2) Cessna 182E Skylane
(c/n 18253684)
This somewhat blurry image
is the result of a long telephoto lens shot by Merv Prime at Jandakot
in May 1965.
VH-DOB was the former VH-MGE,
registered new in March
1962 to Airmar
Pty
Ltd of Sydney. In October 1964 Airmar
traded it to Rex Aviation on something a 210D,
which then
became VH-MGE and the 182E was spotted being repainted as VH-DOB at
Banks-
town on 19
October 1964. It was sold to the
fledgling Murchison Air Charter at Mullewa and
Carnarvon in WA, and later changed to their VH-RT block for Murchison’s
founder Robert T.
Oliver,
becoming VH-RTG , later VH-RTD.
