VH-DZK Cessna 177
Cardinal
(c/n 17700134)
Yet another Cardinal in the
VH-DZ series from the vast collection of Geoff Goodall. This
one was
first registered in
January 1968 as new stock for Perth Cessna dealers Simpson Aviation.
After
several owners in WA it
moved to Queensland and was written off in a forced landing on a
disused
strip near Redcliffe on 3 January 1991. The pilot had
been on a flight from Albury to Redcliffe, ran
into
turbulence on the way resulting in excessive fuel being used and
simply ran out of fuel before
reaching Redcliffe.
