VH-DPX Cessna T337B Super
Skymaster
(c/n 337-0626)
This Alan Bovelt shot was taken at
Wellington, New Zealand in 1970 when the aircraft was visiting
whilst operated by Geosurveys of Australia of Adelaide.
It was a turbocharged version with the
210
hp Continental TSIO-360-A engines. It later went to Tasmanian
Aviation Services Pty Ltd
of
Hobart. On 7 April 1987 the aircraft was landing at Maer Island,
Queensland and overshot the
runway during very wet conditions and
was written off. The ATSB indicated that "the
airstrip was
not suitable for the intended
operation'.
