It has long been the practice in Australia to register new aircraft in
the name of the importer before
transferring it to
the buyer. VH-EHC was no different and was
registered to Cessna agent Rex
Aviation
at Bankstown in September 1968.
David Carter photographed it at Bankstown in
November 1970.
By the mid 1970s it was still firmly attached to Sydney’s major
GA airport,
owned by Alpha
Aviation, a shared ownership flying group formed in 1964 and still in
existence in
2016. –EHC is still current and registered to Actuator Systems
Australia, based in Brisbane. Ian
Mcdonell saw it
(below) at Evans Head in Januiary 2018.
