VH-DQR Cessna 182K Skylane
(c/n 18258177)
Schutt Aviation was one of the early operators of VH-DQR, as shown by
the logo on its tail in
this David Carter
photo at Bankstown in 1970. It had been registered
in August 1967. Air
Britain’s 1976 Australian register showed the owner as Stanbroke
Pastoral Company but
despite its cattle interests lying far from Melbourne, Air Britain gave
its base as Moorabbin.
On April
13, 1987, –DQR flipped on its back when landing at Glenormiston
Station, 240km
from Mt Isa.
It was struck off the register, to return again in January 1989 as a
Cessna 182KA2.
The A2
signified it had been substantially modified on an Australian
supplemental type certificate.
The nature
of the modification is not known. –DQR was withdrawn from use in
September 1997.
